So got some things changed up and done today ready for the light to come in tomorrow and will be able to mount right away. Here is the concept i came up with will be skinned on the exterior to hide some of the brackets and mounting hopefully have some things done tomorrow afternoon and finished up. Picture will be moved and new art put up. Excited to see the end product.

Wish I could find another controller for my non-wifis.

I can't thank Frank enough for those! Changed my whole reef!

Also left room to be able to mount a light bar as well still trying to figure what one im wanting but that will be a later project. Everything will be removable but will still have full access to the tank even when skinned

Speaking of 'my whole reef'... Tip burn, like, bad, like, flesh peeling, but just at the very tips.

Too much light? Byproduct of carbon dosing? Poor husbandry? My own stupidity?

Lost a Paletta yellow tip and a couple of SBB sticks, seems to only happen on the highest points.

I've had this happen with low nutrients and high light coupled with high alk / ph where are your levels.

I'm currently running 3 on my setup. posted my par values here.
those were the mid-to-low swings - but values were easily going 1/2 again as much with the shimmer (I shoulda done a round with the return and wavemakers off...)

I think that there is value in doing with and without wave makers on. Take the average.

How high do you have them mounted above the water line?
