Hey guys :D

So I have been running my tank for the past 4-5 months with a kessil a80. I've been running it at 100% blue 100% intensity for 10 hours a day. Even at that all of my zoas were reaching, and looked starved. I wanted to try a more powerful light to see if infact lack of par was my issue. I purchased the hipargero aquaknight, and installed it today. It is 30 watts. The kessil is 15. I am running it at 70% blue right now. Hopefully I will not fry anything. If everything looks nice, and recovers well. I plan to eventually purchase a ai prime. I would have just bought one, but every place is sold out right now. So let's see what happens. First pic is the zoas as of the other day with the kessil. Second is how the tsnk looks with the aquaknight.

The kessil is kind or weal photonwise. You can get a black box for the same price, or a used 160 if you dig around.

Zoa stretching is a good indicator of lack of light. Good call.
