NICE! Did you glue that rock to the back wall? A pretty neat idea there

That frag rack rock is magnetic by tunze. I didn’t like have just a plain wall and wanted something to blend in unlike those plexi ones do. You can use them on the glass side as well since they are magnetic. The magnets are super strong so you have to be carful though. Really happy with it.

Oh, I also wanted to ask...do you think you really need two AI Primes for the corals you have stocked? I was planning on using one AI Prime but if it can’t get enough PAR then I might just go to a different light altogether. Or do you think the two AI Primes are a good fit?

I finally took those PAR readings so at the top of the water I'm getting 385 PAR and at the bottom I'm getting 75 PAR at the weakest reading.

Thanks for that. I actually expected the PAR to be higher since you have two lights.

Welcome! I took on more reading and it was hovering around 400 at the surface of the water. Btw, the lights are 8 inches off the surface of the water as well.

I considered investing in the seneye monitor just for the PAR reading feature but I don’t know if I can justify the cost just for that. I wish I had a friend close by that had one that I could rent lol.
