I dont

You might want to get something to see if there’s a swing overnight, sometimes 3-5 degrees makes huge difference but then again, 50g shouldn’t be that hard to keep temp steady if you have a good heater running.

Does anyone know if I can adjust the intensity of individual xr15s if I'm running 3?

You can just raise the fixture.

I was going to play around with that a bit more tomorrow.

Genius!!!

I thought he actually meant on separate tanks. Like get more. I vote for that.

I've got two 300w in there now.

Tested the ammonia this morning down from 2.0 to 0.5.

Srt4eric · Mar 20, 2021

So I did what @RandyC suggested and put an xr15 on a separate tank in mobius. On the far edge I have 420par and the rest of the tank is between 90 and the edges up to 200 right under the leds. I'm going to do a large water change tomorrow and I think she's ready to go!!!

I made a makeshift ato reservoir and I plumbed in my ro line straight to it and I'm going to plumb in a 45g brute next to it for salt mix.

Just have good redundancy so top off can’t stick on somehow.

I have two shut off valve between the float valve and my rodi unit. I won't have the unit running the whole time.

So I finally got more than 8 hours off of work. I took full advantage of that today. I made 25 gallons of saltwater and did a large water change. The tank is keeping temp well in the garage with the two Eheim 300w heaters. I went to Neptune's today and bought three $10 frags. A zoa, a duncan and a monti. First frags are in. Lights are out now or else I would include a pic.
