Nice colors, PAR is decent 75ish at the sand bed, 100 bottom 3rd, 180-200 halfway up, 300 at about 3" depth. Wish they had built in timers for each channel, ah well.

How do you feel about the build quality? I am considering purchasing one of these pretty soon.

Nice! I think it will have to get me one of these. What type of starfish is that and how does it do with your corals? I think it would be really cool to have one.

Really happy with the new corals and light.

Wish I had a better camera, picture doesn't do it justice.

So the toadstool was super happy, but now it's not. Everything else looks good, including another toadstool from the same colony. Too much light? Just shedding? Included a pic of the shedding toadstool and the one right below it that is doing fine.

That's not abnormal. If it lasts more than a few days then there could be an issue. Mine does that for 1-4 days them opens back up bigger than before.
