Halide is out, was only getting about 200 par in the middle and 150 anywhere off to the side. New light in, 330 par in the center and down to 260 or so towards the edges of the rock plate.
I gotta tell ya for peace of mind, a backup is a nice option. I only have the one and it seems to vibe working fine but i feel like I might not sleep the best tonight. Ha.
No. I put a strainer on top and have the overflow as a straight pipe with the strainer about an inch below water level and a valve to adjust. Probably could have gone with a sicce 2.0 rather than a 1.5, but it seems to work well.
Yeah I’m going to do a display fuge type thing. Lots of love rock. Probably softies and nems. I think maybe like a pair of gold stripe maroons. It’s 30 gallons.
Too will be a shelf rock, drilled, with sps. Maybe just a couple of good ones. Would like to get some fun ones to sell. Fruity...
Funny. I took that pic and was reading horseplays reply and it flooded all over. Ha. Didn’t pay attention but the water is a little high in the pic. Whoops. Adjusting the overflow. Too open and it’s noisy. Too closed and…floor.
So. Just a quick update.
I removed the AI Prime 16HD and installed a Radion XR30. It’s definitely overkill. Great coverage though, as the light is about the same size as the top of the tank.

No. But I did watch baton menace with my two youngsters for the first time. Last time I saw it was in the theater when it came out. Jar jar is much more tolerable when watching with a 7 yr old. Ha
So, I am created a small frag system, with an acrylic tank and internal overflow setup up top.
The overflow area is small, with only a single hole in the middle. Was going to try and make a Durso, but there really isn't enough room.
How should I set up my overflow? Just the hole in the bottom...
