Last FTS of my nano...

have you ever had a problem with the corals not opening? I have pretty much the same specs as you do except my par38 is a 24watt over the same height, 8gallon as well. My zoa opened up for the first day and never did and eventually died. Everything coral I put in here has died within a couple days...I was wondering if my light is too strong so I dimmed it and i dont think that helped it. I was wondering if it could be my RO water too.

Where did you get the ARM to host the PAR bulb?

I got the arm from staples, but never used the hood that came with the lamp for heat purposes.

No I actually havent had any issues with corals not opening. Have you tested your params? There can be a lot of reasons why your corals have dying. Maybe the water is too hot, bad salt mix, params are off etc.

Looking at this one.

That light isn't my par38 it is a Wavepoint 8 watt micro sun light. It is not a good light for reefs at all, I had it on hand when starting the tank.

Oh ok I didnt see you post where it said it was that light. I was assuming that was the par light stand.
