What type of lighting system do you have ?

What type of lighting system do you have ?

it's a reefbreeders photon 24.. it was pointed out to me that my pics look dim around the edges, in reality it's not, it's just my phone adjusting to the brightest part of the tank and dimming everything down, in person the tank looks perfectly evenly lit.. I'm pretty happy with it and IMO I've got pretty good color and growth..

I also have a photon24 on my 40b. Jc... What intensity you max at and how long have you been using them? Tx

Almost current FTS. I have a few more pieces that have been added but this will do for now. Waiting for it all to grow in.

The footprint of this tank will always have a soft spot in my heart
