I have several of each but all seized shut :lol:

Nice job on the rockwork. Me like.
Isn't drilling rock fun? I always have to wear goggles or risk getting live rock goo in the eyes. :lol:

True. Just been thinking about downsizing the 2 230g and 80g to a 90g ish cube. Not sure I have it in me to say goodbye to my big fish though, even though financially it makes sense :neutral:

Thanks Josh. Not the most natural looking scape by a longshot but I am so excited to populate it with my corals. Hands down my favorite scape I've managed to come up with. I love viewing it from the top right now. only have two small Tunze in there to keep the rock happy so it's quite calm on the surface and easy to see everything. and yeah it was a ton of work and only involved a handful of holes to be drilled.

I'm about to do some serious hand exfoliating. Got me 50 lbs of Caribsea Seaflor to scrub and rinse before it goes in :biggrin:

let there be light!
 
i always dread drilling my ceiling. lots of prep work to ensure something hangs level not to mention in the right spot. i measured 10 times and hung once. i was very lucky to find a joist an inch off from dead centre over the tank so my strip of wood on the ceiling is barely wider than the mitras.

This thing disappears above the tank since my living room has next to no lighting in it other than some dim lamps. The manual was missing from the box but I have had time to just manual tweak the channels.

Currently have blue, royal blue, cool white and hyper violet at 100%. Red 30%, Hyper Red 20%, Green 40% and Yellow 10%. It's very bright and the overal look has more blue than my somewhat flat looking Kessil.

There is definitely colour banding but easily the least noticeable of the LEDs I've seen. The photos also show a pattern like I have strips of light blocking material running in parallel rows above the tank but it doesn't look like that in person and I just quickly snapped these.

Excited to mess around with these more. Love the small size of the unit and the big light it throws everywhere. I easily got light to even all the spots on my rear wall but I was blinding my wife on the couch at that point. Had to move it back to about 7" off the water's surface.

I like it Brett. The rock wall gives it some nice depth in the front view

Where's the Orange-back ... I don't see him in the pics :rolleyes:
