Update:

- Tank is in place
- Phosphates tested are finally down to 6 ppb phosphorous (.018 ppm phosphate) and I'm starting to see coral color slowly coming back and algae fading
- Got a new LED light, an Orphek PR-156 to test on frag tank and replace the Orphek DIF-50 which did not suit my application. I will likely post a review much like the Apollo as it's a comparable fixture offering 120 watts worth of lighting with a mixture of whites, blues, and UVs but with wider optics, 120s. More to come when I have a chance
