Well here you go. The first pic is from 12-24, at about 11AM. It is really deceiving how much lite is in the tank when it is bright outside. The second pic is from Day 2 at about 8AM. The lites were at 18" above the water at 25%. The last pic is from this morning, at 8AM, the lites are at 15" above the water and still at 25%. I am keeping a pretty close eye on things. I do believe that the next move I make will be the last move, and then I will start upping the 25% from there. The lites will be at 13" above the water, right where the halides were.
I think I am gonna have to move some stuff, but that is no biggie, I got the space.
I have been trying to figure out a way to do that the way I had to hang them Mike. Hey..................... how do you think they look compared to what it was?

I bet I could talk him into taking some tonight.
Nah, don't bother......................lol, he put up a vid a couple nites ago
Looks alot cleaner then it was before for sure. On adjusting, could you not just pinch the hanging cables a little bit on the middle side of the tank?? that way they would point slightly to the middle and give some more light to that area??

To be honest, I think I would rather move stuff, I have the room, leave the middle the way it is and let it be a sanctuary. Just my present thoughts.
I thought about that Mike, I might do that if I put a canopy on this thing, which I do believe is gonna happen.

i like how little light is spilling outside the tank. i suppose that depends on the height. looking good to me. i do think you need to get more light in the middle but that has always been your low light area. looking good!
The middle will get figured out, I pretty much know I am going to have to move the froggie that is there, but as I have mentioned, (I think), I have room. Right now, I am also dealing with some recession issues that started before the lights went on, my alkalinity has been goofy lately?????
Well................... instead of moving coral, I moved the lites. Moved the inside 2 fixtures 8" in, and moved the outer 2 fixtures 3" in. What a freaking brainstorm huh?
