I do not plan to keep a large amount of SPS anytime soon. Only SPS I want is 1 plating monti and that is pretty much it. I am leaning more towards 2 AI prime HDs since I do not need the high PAR reading and there is no sense in paying extra for Hydra26s if I don't really need THAT much light. My tank is only 18" deep. Thoughts?Depends on budget but for that size tank and only 18inches of depth you could go 2 ai primes or 2 hydra 26 if you plan to keep high par sps
Thank you for the links. I would consider an LED bar even with the center brace. I have a LED bar right now and I do not see any compromise in lighting under the bar. I am sure it is in some way hindered but not noticeable at all. I like the idea of 2 AI primes because of their price and ability to program through the app, but that's just the millennial in me. Not to mention I have seen some amazing growth and coloration.Here are a couple of options in a similar price range. Not sure if you would consider a single light with a centerbrace.

The basic model of this same light without WiFi control in only $275. I note I have the 16” WiFi version and really like it.
It's currently in the sand on it's own rock.If I may make a suggestion based on my experience with gsp. Your gsp will bounce back, once it does, it will grow on anything it touches. The rock you have it on will end up being covered with gsp and it will spread onto the other rocks. You are best to keep it on the sandbed as it's own little island. GSP will also grow on the glass.
Thank you I appreciate it. I will have more content in the next few days.Looks great, following along
Yeah it was a traumatizing experience. Thankfully I did not have many expensive fish so I did not lose nearly close to $500. I am somewhat glad it happened, I have a new plan of action for my tank that I think is unique. I'm writing up my idea now so stay tuned.Sorry for your loss When I converted my 55 gallon 3 years ago from freshwater to saltwater, same thing happened to me. I stocked too quickly, and when I added a Tang, it got ich, and within 2 weeks, all my fish were dead. I lost over $500 in fish. I went fallow for a while, then restocked VERY slowly. I also implemented a quarantine tank, which I would recommend. I haven’t lost a fish since. Don’t overstock, and restock SLOOOWLY
