  1. To me, every equipment have a date when it will malfunction. Less equipment and less demanding corals would be my way to have a successful reef tank if I don't have the time to do water changes. Lights, heater, wavemakers, and battery backup are things I would invest in.

    lights came in. a lot more wiring than anticipated and the fans are pretty loud.

    problem now is that family members are complaining that the lights are too bright.

    either i move the tank to a different location or put on a canopy.

     

    anyone have experience building one? i really dont want to move the tank again.

  3. thanks.

     

    one of my kessil a150 died this week. not bright at all in about 2 years of use.

     

    planned on buying the photon48, but the shipping cost too much so i decided to purchase

    the snakeeyes led quad 48" from aquatraders. i know it will probably be less reliable than the other

    led lights out there, but i figured if a kessil can go out prematurely, then what am i actually paying

    all that money for? the snakeeyes cost about the same as a new kessil a150 and it will be able to cover my entire tank.

    besides, corals in my tank have not grown at all with the kessils other than the mushrooms.

    new light should be here by christmas.

     

     

    the yellow wrasse jumped out this week too. too bad i was not home to save it.

    really surprised the cat didnt eat it.
