Isn't that cool! When I changed over to my LEDS I had to put in a second heater

Didn't see it mentioned in the thread... did you take any par measurements? Not sure how you know if you have enough light.

No, no par meter. I know I don't have enough light because I can't see all the corals. They're in the dark. The areas just below the lights are fine, but still not what came out of the 400w bulbs.

Sell the chiller and you can buy another Sol and heater.

I'm going to keep the chiller inline until I've gone a summer and not need it.
