Hello all,

My name is Vik, Happy Holiday's to everyone. I'm not new to hobby just the forum.
Earlier this year I upgraded from a corner 53 gallon to a 120 reef ready tank. Only two corals as of now. (pulsing Xenia, and GSP).
I also have a lion fish that will need a new home soon. Looking to start a quarantine tank pretty soon so I can get some baby tangs, maybe clowns, and a proper cleaning crew.
Looking for some suggestions on a good ATO system, and if anyone can fill me in on whether my lights are good enough to keep some SPS or LPS corals.
Current Lights 24-36" Orbit Marine IC PRO Dual LED Light Fixture - with LOOP Controller (OPEN BOX) - Current USA.
Hope to speak with everyone soon !

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!!

I have two tunze osmolator 3155 ato units and they are amazing. I would definitely recommend them.

As far as the light I checked out what the manufacturer says the par is. It seems they only have measurements taken using two lights working together. If you had the two they list you could keep sps in the top 9 inches and lps in most of the tank.

My ATO is homemade so I can’t help there. For sps I’d probably not use your current lights.

Gotcha, I'll check out the ATO units. Thanks for researching the lights, I'm not too familiar with coral and lighting. I've only kept my tank as a fowler for the past 6-9 years. Definitely appreciate the advice.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome ! Great to be here. Also if anyone is reasonably nearby to the NYC area, and wants to check out my lion let me know. My main thing is I want to make sure he goes to a good home....

I actually used to keep Moray's. Until they jumped ship and I gave up. Maybe soon after I get all of the fish that I want.
