I took some quick Par readings, since my Orphek Atlantik icon is new to me. Center of tank directly under the light was just over 300. Deeper at center bottom was about 220.As soon as I got off-center par dropped. At either end of the light it's dropped to about 100 at the rack.At the ends and corners par drops to about 50. It gives me choice on light intensity and with Gyre's at both ends, choice of flow too . Now the adventure truly begins.

It's alive! And it doesn't overflow if you turn off the return pump :)

Tore down my Fiji Cube 10 AIO and moved Sand, old water, and my bugs to the 60B

Anyone else still use these little plastic bits to grow their bacteria on? I still have bags, receipt says I paid $45 for 5 pounds back in 2014. Sorry about the noise but phone was right in there.
