Hi! I figured I would give a little introduction. My name is Katie. I started out in the aquarium hobby with freshwater fish 16 years ago now! Last month, I started up my first saltwater aquarium! It is a 20H. It originally housed a pair of Ocellaris Clownfish. Long story short, one up and dropped dead today, so I’m down to one. After a little while, I decided to set up another tank. I went with yet another 20H since I couldn’t get my hands on a 15g. It now houses a pair of young Percula Clownfish. Currently both tanks are FOWLR. My Ocellaris tank has an Aquatic Life Dual-Lamp T5HO Marquis on it and my Percula tank has a NICREW 14000K LED Marine Light on it. The Ocellaris tank will definitely be a reef. The PAR readings on the NICREW actually isn’t too bad. At most, it will have some low light corals. I believe it’s 40-50 PAR on the bottom half or so and 80-100 or so above that

I’ll try to get some! If nothing else, it’s an excuse to do another photo-op with the clowns. They love it!

Katie 13 has 15 Tanks? That's neat.
(You sound more like a fish store than a hobbyist.) :)
