    Thanks Steve...been really happy so far, way less algae problems then when I had the 13 fish in the tank. Less load, less excess nutrients it's been really taking care of itself. So I bought a reefbrite from a guy on RC on the 5th, and was about to do a dispute because of non delivery. Today it shows up, and it was shipped on the 5th...from Colorado. I would never recommend parcel post shipping to anyone. Mounted them up

    Checked my light for PAR and decided to switch one of the bulbs for another, and obviously the bulb I switched out for was older and had lost it's potency. Check out the numbers

    800 watts is insane... I think your clown is suntanning in your PAR pic! ;D

    Do you run a chiller, or run into heating issues with an open top?

    What settings are you using on your camera? I assume it's a Dslr.
