My 65G Reef

[Rikarus]

Howdy all, I was into salt water along time ago when the equipment was not so awesome. About a year ago I decided to get back into it and started a little 15 gallon reef, as I was nurturing that I came across an Aqueon 70 gallon with the stand brand new for 200 dollars, and jumped at the chance to upgrade, and to have a cool aquarium in that ****** nook where TV's used to go. It's been a wonderful opportunity to play with newer equipment and features that make it so I can control lights and flow from my iphone, monitor tank parameters from my iphone....all in all I love it. So far everyone is flourishing for the most part, I did have a blenny that apparently found a portal to somewhere else and just up and vanished.

I will keep posting here as I have successes and failures.

My guess is ambient lighting, because according to sense the monitor won’t do PAR with LED lights. I notice it goes to zero when it hits sundown mode and at night.
