New 630gal SPS Peninsula, NJ

All fish are good, so far. Tank looks good too, no algae, very clean. Only one issue I have is with corals, only few left, due to changing lights to GHL. I cant figure it out, all coloration and settings doesnt seem to work well for corals. I will post few pictures in a little bit.
Thanks for asking, I forgot about this thread

Very nice, maybe a few more updates

I had much the same issue with the GHL Mitras. I think they are a KILLER LED pendant, but GHL has all but refused to release any recommended presets for them. Everyone has been forced to rely on the community... Since very very few of us know anything REAL about the lighting needed for coral growth, I think we run into issues trying to fend for ourselves.

I ended up getting rid of my Mitras and switching back to 400w Radiums...

Good luck!

I give it one more shot. Rent yesterday PAR meter, did some adjustments on lights and wait few more weeks. If still no results, will go back to metal halides.

Beautiful tank! I'm partial to peninsula's and I love the way you built yours in. The finish work and stone work is beautiful!

Few more updates to my filtration room,

My old acrylic tank, cut in the half, connected to the system with 150w UV lamp

Are you saying a seam split on your tank? If you bought it new from Miracles then, yes, you should contact them immediately.

Adam,

If you have two long clamps put two pieces of wood a long the edge and use the clamps to clamp it slowly to hold the tank it might stop leak or at least very slow leak. but do not over tight.

Hope in time.

Sorry, I can feel your pain. I believe Miracle will stand behind your lost.

Hope all go OK.
