Here's my contribution. Some blue tubbs. I can swing by Saturday morning if you like.
BTW - your tank is looking great.

I would agree but the same could be said about acrylic, I just don't think some people are familiar enough with working with PVC. Unless you are referring to professionally done PVC Acyrlic units.
He really needs to raise the lights, they need to be at least a foot above the water. He however cannot due that to the canopy.
These are more powerful than most think, Right now I am using them in my "bathtub tank" and they are close to 50 inches away from some corals.
Oddly enough my coral are responding better in my bathtub than in the previous tank. I can only attribute the change in height the light sits at previously they were only 8'' above the water line in a 24'' deep tank.

Optics can be removed or changed!

They are right now 6" from the water which is not good enough...but for now thats how they are going to stay...i plan to build a bigger canopy later on
They are at 30% whites and 50% blues now and still very bright!

looking good.
That is my dilemma now. I can only get bout 8" above water. Dang canopies:headwally:
I noticed you have only 16 whites, Seems about right. People with blue and white always seem to turn blue up way higher the white via dual dimmers.
Even with only 16, you still will crank up blue more ( :
28 white is way overkill IMO

Try removing only a portion of the optics to spread the light. May not need to extend the canopy at all.

Quick update...i added a couple of clownfish and two pajamas cardinals to speed up the cycle. It has been 10 days and no cycle yet.
I started with live sand, NSW and a couple of pieces of live rock. I also added some sand from my established tank.
Still waiting but looks like cycle is not happening
