    Ok everyone I just borrowed a par meter front from the lfs. What kind of readings am I looking/aiming for? This is in a 46gallon bowfront. And the light is on an adjustable chain so I can go up and down. What numbers should I be aiming for. Top middle and bottm? Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

    First drilled tank

    I'm setting up a 46 gallon bowfront and I want it to be drilled. The bottom is tempered so that's out. Where should I get the holes put? My lfs suggested one on each side in the back about 3 in from the top. Is this normal placement for a back drilled tank?
