What kind of heaters are you using?

And I agree with Brett on painting those goofy bushings black
Thanks! You really hooked me up

Aquaillumination pendants are very clean! I was tossing up 3 different types of LED's and they were one of them. Quite pricey for my size of a setup though.

I'm still debating on painting them black, but then again in person they don't stand out as much.

The heaters are from BRS "Finnex HPS" I believe. They are pretty awesome actually. Remote temperature probe and single button setup for temperature. The indicator is very cool as well.

I took down my previous tank and moved the fish over, everyone is happy and seem to like more space. I've also have a few new additions (blue throat, niger, Japanese swallowtail (female) and a mimic tang).





I've added a CREE LED light system to my sump, this will be my "frag tank" but for now, I'll be adding new coals here first.

The old 4 foot 4 bulb light puts out an amazing amount of light... I'm quite surprised at the coverage!



LED's are taking shape. The Profilux unit will make this build super clean as everything will go through a single add-on (EVG-AP-2F). Essentially only 4 wires will be routed to each pendant. Pasting, screwing the LED's down to the heat sync and wiring took about an hour total.

So what do you have there for LED's? Row of blue, then white then blue again?

Correct, I've also lef the center row available for more whites if needed.

It's possible to spread the whites out a little bit, but I believe the blue/white spread will be quite good with this configuration.

Thought I'd post a quick update on my tank... Most fish died due to a Brooklynella outbreak in the tank also, a wicked case of Cyano has been around for a bit, I'm going to try and increase flow a bit and check my KH levels.

In the meantime, the DIY LED setup is complete. It was an easy build and mating with the Profilux was a breeze. Dimmable awsomeness!
