Hey everyone!
I have been a lurker on the forums forever but finally decided to register and learn more. I have been in saltwater aquariums for awhile, but I feel like I've never been satisfied with my tanks! I started with a HOB 55gallon from the ol Petco $1 gallon sale, then upgraded to a 120 gallon 4x2x2, then went for the 265 that never got filled and eventually sold. I also had a 29g bio cube back in the day. After about 5 years from the hobby I jumped back in with a 36x18x18 50 gallon tank. I recently redid the tank as it was a constant battle of GHA and cyano. My tank is a 50 gallon Deep Blue tank with trigger systems crystal sump and Bubble Magus Curve 5 skimmer.
I just upgraded the lights to AI Prime 16's x2 from the current IC pro. Also switched out one current powerhead for a Nero 3 - and plan to switch out my other for a Nero 3 as well. Got the lights installed and rented a par meter this weekend to see how the lights were and what my coral limits were. I also purchased two hammers from unique corals and so far looks great. Here's a picture of my tank with the Par settings I managed to get - you'll see R2R at the top - my setting are based off of the settings of a R2R user I found on here, haha!
