    Hi Trump, welcome to 3reef.

    Nice upgrade, easier to take images through a cube too. The Urchin looks cool in the cube. How long has it been running?

    The 28bow started leaking a week before I wanted to do my transfer so I had to do a swap much faster than I wanted to and some of the corals didnt like it. A little bit of STN on my setosa and the light got moved down a little to low and cause a couple of corals to bleach and one to outright change colors.

    The GIF is actually a photo from my S4 it takes them without any extra work.

    The tank was swapped on the 11/2/13

    Par reading s on the bow but should be the same as the depth is the same. Once the light stand is fixed at least

    So in order to fix the light s I decided to build this aluminium arm style hanger.

    Nice job with the hanger. That should look nice over the tank.
