Alright so, Turtle moved the lights to 6" above the water last night. I uhh... well... here, you look for yourself.

Looking great!

Those look like some nice numbers for stix!

@pelphrey see image above for PAR numbers in a 30”x 24”x 24” tank using a 3rd 160.

Wow ! !

Quite the jump :-)

That came together quick, looks Great and you still have lots of room in the cabinet. The lighting is killer,are you gonna use a kessil controller ?

Yes, those are some nice numbers. Right now I have the Kessils on the controller for 12 hours total, peak of 6 hours and a really slow ramp for 2 hours then quickly ramp up/down to full intensity. The T5 are on for 6 hours at peak.

I'd say my corals are happy so far...

Loving that red plate, should settle great there. :)

[Fudsey]

OH NO ! ! ! ! WT---F!!!!!!!!

 

[Scurvy]

[Fudsey]

I cannot believe that it would crack like that... Sorry to see this :(

 

[Scurvy]

Heartbroken for you.... i cant even imagine. Did you hear it crack or walk into a flood?

 

[siggy]

AUGH MAN

Walked into my tank lights off (thankyou GFCI!!!!) and a flood. Thankfully I have the 40 breeder running and all my livestock is just fine.

About to get on the horn with SCA and see what they have to say.

 

[Fudsey]

I hope they stand behind their tank for you.

OMG, that is terrible news. It is new so should be “easy” to replace, but obviously a big hassle and delay. At least you were still in the beginning stages and not heavily stocked. The more important question is why would it suddenly crack in that manner?

Sorry to hear! My sump had a blowout last night. Happy it wasn’t the Display. Good luck with your tank!

I take it there's no word from SCA being a holiday?
