Hi, sharing my 6ft FOWLR. Currently into first week of cycling.

It was a Arowana setup before being converted to FOWLR.

my tank is 622.

the light is not complicated just that i have added ammeters to monitor the current applied to the LEDs. This will allows me to adjust the current accordingly.

I will remove the lighting next to the skimmer. With lighting that strong, the skimmer n sump will grow algea. That small area will not help much for your tank.

thanks for the advice. I am in the progress of improving that area. Trying to cut down the stray lights.
