works great for me Steve, so 118 Par for the reef tech and that is 2 " from the water line. That is if you had a bare bottom tank right. So people with 2-4 " would get better Par readings correct. Can ya give us a look at by using the par gauge and raising it up 1 " at a time to show us what numbers that you get.

Par at the bottom of the tank was between 125-138. I have hardly any sand in the tank.In fact because of my PH most of the front of the tank has no sand.I have around 60 pounds of sand in this tank.That's a joke for a 500 gal tank.Its like 2 buckets of salt.I had a good 300 pounds of sand in my 300 gallon.

I am not good at manual settings.Videos come out funny under led lights.I wish I knew more about video and photography so I good do a good job.

The tangs are very fast fish.The clown tang can zoom around the tank like a bullet.

It has been some time since my last post.I am trying to get my act together to finish my sump room.I will finally buy my plumbing parts and get my butt into gear.I have left my tank in limbo and it pretty much looks like crap.I have not taken care of it other than a water change and feeding the fish.Pretty sad.I just need to get a sump.I am looking for a potable water bin to use as a sump.Where can i find one that at least 100 gallons.I prefer these bins over glass tanks.I have a 125 gal glass sump from my old tank but its to big to fit in my sump room.

I have not looked on this website but I assume there is a forum for used goods.I have some stuff I should sell since its been collecting dust.I have a 300 gal acrylic tank that is drilled for ocean motions 8 way sitting in my garage for over a year now.It needs a cleaning but there is nothing wrong with it.I just never bothered to sell it,along with other stuff.
