Another local reefer huh? Nice to see some Vegas peeps on here!Hello, so sorry for your loss. All the mentions on your lighting is right on. I also had a Vipar 300 over my 46 gallon bowfront for a year or two and never went over 50%, powerful lights. I would like to know the LFS that you went to. Do you live in Nevada or New Mexico? I can help you with water testing today or tomorrow if you like and show you all the testing I do. I have been reefing for 7 years now and had fresh for over 40, I am still learning.
Send me a personal message if you would like my help. We need all your stats here for others to help you, like age of tank, type of water testing you are doing. I don't have too much faith in LFS anymore, I also have been burned by some but not any LFS's in Las Vegas. Most of them here are great, the only problem one was Petco and that is another story.
