Waiting on silicone to cure, gonna wait at least 72 hrs before filling up tank. I was reading it can take up to 7 days to fully cure. I don't want to rush the curing process. Meanwhile I will try hypo salinity in main display for 30-90 days see if that helps my fish ich/flukes situation. This way I don't have to add tap water to system and rush water changes.

My Meridians are here, can’t wait to set them up!

Love these lights! Super happy with new lighting system. Need to raise them higher for spread or get 2-24’s to have 87” fixtures.

App is a breeze, controls are very simple love it.

Dialing them in to get best color and spread.

Can’t wait to grow some corals and see how the lights hold up over time.

Will post more pics when I get a chance.

Great lights and great customer service from Reefbreeders 10 out of 10 reef stars!

Awesome! If I ever go back it’s gonna be these! For now it’s halides!

I have 3-400 metal halides that I’ve been playing around with, just worried about heat issues in canopy and juice being used. Right now one 63” is only using 75 watts of power.

400’s do run warm… I run 250’s with a open top canopy and have zero issues myself.
Sounds like you need to crank that thing up if it’s only 75 watts that’s less than a single xr15 lol..
I’d imagine those run 500 watts on average.

I’ve been running one in the canopy for 6 months now for 3 hrs in the morning with no issues, but 3 might be too much heat.
