So raised light about 13" above tank and still has about 330 par at bottom center. I think I will keep like this for now and see what happens

Well pretty much bleached all my stuff even trying my best to acclimate them.

So ended up with a 6 bulb ATI fixture. It's been running for 3 weeks and everything colored back up. Things looking great sps really starting to grow. Love the light.

So after some time I have noticed the sand I bought is to thick. It's turning dark colors and coralline. So ended up changing out sand. This time went with Fiji pink.

Looked through the build from the beginning and it is quite impressive. The bar with the tanks it beautiful. Solid work

Thanks, it's been pretty fun build so far. I have learned a lot more about lighting then I ever would want to know. Lol

Should change the title of the thread.
"jonnyu goes barebottom,... then back to sand" ;)
Nice build! Love the bar idea and execution.
