Hey everyone! I'm Andrés, a total aquarium nerd (practitioner, enthusiast, fan?). I've had fresh water tanks my whole life, but got into reef tanks about 8 years ago. I set up my first one on a budget with used stuff from eBay. My tank was used too, and I had to fix it up. I've had some ups and downs, like the time my clownfish jumped out in the middle of the night (found him in the morning) and I cried lol! Last year, due to work, I had a "reset" and lost my Duncan's (which I'd had for years), zoas, and hammers. Only my pair of clownfish survived (tough little buggers). I'm currently upgrading my equipment and going a bit overboard since I'm planning to move and get a bigger tank. I'm getting married next year (hopefully she'll get me a new tank as a gift!). I have a question: I've searched online but couldn't find a simple answer. Is there a guide for changing light fixtures when the new one is much more powerful? I want to avoid unnecessary losses.
Welcome! I love Central America but haven't been to Guatemala.

What fixture do you have? I have no idea how shipping to that area goes or what you have access to. If you have t5's, you can use actinic bulbs to soften the PAR or you can raise the light up higher. LED's can almost always be dimmed. There is always a solution.
