Decision time on failing tank

[Reef_puck]

The lights I have are both Blue now. Just one is a G5 and one is a G6. Look alike I wil end up buying a par meter to keep testing as $80 a week to rent one adds up.

I’m buying one as I expect my lights to change as they age. BRS used to sell the rentals at a discount. Probably a good option. Me. I’ll just buy new. Considering the cost of everything else. Why skimp on the most important testing item needed.

Could also check with local clubs. They might have one or another reefer in your area.

Sell the lights and get an Orphek Icon.

Lighting and nutrients were my problem.

Measured some more. And including pulling the glass tops. What a difference.

Readings are AB+. All channels 100
40%
60%
80%
100%
85% no glass

Tank with no glass. 85%

Now need to get a screen top or different glass that does not kill the PAR. If screen then may need to reevaluate the auto top off system as more evaporation will take place.
