And now we are 6 inches shorter have one more bar I can mount.

Spread isn't as good as before since the 3 kessils are lower but par has to be higher.

Renting meter on Friday/Saturday to see where I'm at.

A torch doesn't seem like like my mid day hikes in par anyways. Always retracts.

Then is out at night. Waiting to see how it does.

Spread doesn't seem as good. But overall looks more close to what others have on their tank...

Friday we will know I'll put together a cool chart

[Nate Chalk]

were you standing on a chair?

No my stand is.... 30 ish inches tall, tank 20. I have to sit in a chair to see the tank level.

I wish it was taller sometimes but then Id have to stand on a chair to mount coral on the bottom with my arm. or see top down shots.
