Those look like some nice numbers for stix!

@pelphrey see image above for PAR numbers in a 30”x 24”x 24” tank using a 3rd 160.

That came together quick, looks Great and you still have lots of room in the cabinet. The lighting is killer,are you gonna use a kessil controller ?

Yes, those are some nice numbers. Right now I have the Kessils on the controller for 12 hours total, peak of 6 hours and a really slow ramp for 2 hours then quickly ramp up/down to full intensity. The T5 are on for 6 hours at peak.

I'd say my corals are happy so far...

Walked into my tank lights off (thankyou GFCI!!!!) and a flood. Thankfully I have the 40 breeder running and all my livestock is just fine.

About to get on the horn with SCA and see what they have to say.

I hope they stand behind their tank for you.

OMG, that is terrible news. It is new so should be “easy” to replace, but obviously a big hassle and delay. At least you were still in the beginning stages and not heavily stocked. The more important question is why would it suddenly crack in that manner?
