Would you upgrade light/flow if it was not required?

Everything is thriving in my tank.

 

IM 10 with Kessil A80 and flow is good from upgraded return pump and spinstream.

 

I do have an AI Prime and Hydor 240 that i’m not using.

Upgrade of light would make more sense than flow in this case.

Would you do it? Any tips in upgrading?

Leave the tank alone if it is going good. No reason to mess up a good thing. 

 

be like the rest of us, just start a second tank for no reason other than "I had all of this stuff just sitting here"

Yes that second tank will become a 3rd tank lol.

Haha! I just set up my second tank. This extra light and pump is something I won in a raffle after I bought and set up the second one...

It all depends on your tank goals. If you want to move up the harder to keep corals you may need to upgrade you light at least.

Kessil claims you can get 4" of solid coral-capable depth.  

 

I suspect a little more since, with a smaller-than-stat tank, you'll have some added reflection off the front and side glasses that will benefit your corals.

13" - .25" glass - 1" sand - 4" rock = 7.75" of depth to cover, being reasonable.

 

I think I know what they mean by "fish only" but I wish I knew what they meant by "advanced" and "entry level".....corals??  If so, that's not a very useful distinction.

 

But neither that, nor any other factoid I can think of right now seems to suggest this light shouldn't be working as well as it appears to be (per your comment above)!

Have to agree.
