So I can't find it in your build but maybe I missed it, are you concerned with the electronics and the humidity above the tank? Or do you have a lid for the tank?

Not concerned at all as the back of the canopy is wide open, from one end to the other. When they go on the 300 gal there will be a complete acrylic splash cover & there will be 2 more fans added, 1 - air in & 1 - air out.

What an impressive build.

When you're running just Red & green LED does it give off an "Austin Powers" kind of "Oh yea baby" glow? I added a pair of Red & Green to my 34g build and when just those 2 colors are on it looks like you've eaten some bad mojo and you're tripping LOL!

Outstanding build for sure!

Are you running the latest PLC and Firmware from GHL? They've added some new "Tweaks" for LED in the latest version. I've not really dug into it yet but it sounds like it could be fun!!

"YA BABY" :lol: it is a little trippy with just reds / greens but without them colors are a little dull IMO.

I'm running firmware 5.10 and PLC V5113, I think that's the latest versions. I tried playing around with some of the other illumination features but can't seem to get any of them to work like the cloud cover feature, that is one I would like to see with my build.

Not worried about that as I have acrylic covers just like the one I put on yours & my drivers are on the outside of the canopy.
