Any update on whether it is possible to keep less demanding SPS with two lights? Have the stocklight now but might be upgrading in the future. I have a Maxspect 160W but would prefer not to lose the lid to avoid evaporation..

You absolutely can. I picked up this no name acro from the LFS, was brown. Turned green and is now turning gold/purple.
Also have what I believe are
ORA Red Planet
Miyagi tort
Cali tort
Appleberry montipora
Pink montipora with blue polyps
Tubbs Stellata
Red Setosa
Purple Stylo
The Thing anacropora

Also have rock flower anemone in the sandbed and two "black widow" bubble tips that started as one, all doing well!

None of them like the Red/Pink channel
I run 100% blue, 100% purple, 100% cyan, and up to 20% white. I have had my whites off for a while to bounce back from a heat wave event, and potential dinos. 100% blues basically and everything is thriving!

That is great news! So glad to hear. But max 20% Whites to avoid heat-problems?

Will get an extra as soon as my tank is ready for corals. Still cycling.
do You have a full tank picture if your tank?

 

[Purkey Pets]

Sorry, heat wave not from the lights but from July heat, A/C was not running and tank hit at least 91 degrees.

The lights do heat the tank though with the sealed lid, and I have since added AC Infinity fans with controller. When tank hits 82F they kick on until it drops to 80F

Glass is dirty, sorry!

So beautiful!! Good job. And regarding the fans You just Cut holes in the back and glued them on or how? Cause i might need to do the same in summertime!
Furthermore, love the order of the electricity and dosing - are You running the dosing up from the back?

 

[Purkey Pets]

Thanks! The tank is coming along, took a while after the bleaching event.

For the fans, I cut two 3-inch holes right above the two lights. Took a while to plan out the stand build, everything is routed in cable raceways up the back of the stand & tank:

[norner]

Yeah, looks like a lot of planning - but great inspiration! Will be doing mine in the coming days!
great with the fans! And did you flue them or how did fix the fans to the lid?

 

[Purkey Pets]

I thought about screwing them in, but opted for velcro tape instead. Figured that would cut down on the noise.

They came with rubber feet but I wanted them to stay put when I remove the lid for maintenance.


Overall, I think the additional light is worth it. It has great spread with minimal shadows similar to fluorescent/T5. I don't like the look of smaller LED fixtures, especially Kessil unless you get a bunch to cover all angles....which = $$$$$

Perfect! I Will try a similar solution - great with Velcro!
One last question - how do You fix dosing tubes to the aquarium?

 

[Purkey Pets]

I drilled holes in the cover, just big enough for them to fit with some effort so they stay in place without kinking. The dosing lines drip right above the media basket overflow lip, so they mix a bit better. ATO routed via the clear tubing and drops in next to the skimmer, with the sensor on the other side of the skimmer.

 

[norner]

Amazing - Will copy your build as much as possible! When incorporating dosingpump and ATO!
What are you dosing? The canisters look nice, but seem like something you are mixing yourself? Thanks for Your help and time!

 

[Purkey Pets]

Dosing the RedSea program, but will be switching to a simpler 4-part and split up the dosing pumps between two systems.

I stopped dosing NOPOX because the skimmer is just too small for it to work, and everything looks better without it.

So I have the Fluval Flex 32.5 saltwater aquarium. By in large the aquarium has been good (albeit far from perfect), and things are going well over the past few months. I've added the protein skimmer (which is doing a solid job), and now I'd like to add a second light. Since its a "hooded" system I'm pretty much stuck to what kind of light I can add.

The main reason I want to get a second light is it should reduce/eliminate some of the dark spots in the tank due to only having one light right now.

Fluval recommends the Marine 3.0 LED (Item# 14513), but I've endlessly searched the internet and this product (#14513) does not exist. No website, not even amazon/ebay have this exact product number. Fluval's website is hot garbage when it comes to their product pages and I can't find it there. I see plenty of listings for the Marine 3.0 #14515 but I don't know why Fluval would call out a product number that is nowhere to be found.

Is this some custom part or is this a mistake on Fluval's end that they just haven't corrected?

I know it's been a couple years but I'm wondering if you ever sorted this out? I have the 32.5 flex and want something that fits stock in the second open rack of the lid. Item still shows out of stock on their website and I haven't heard back from fluval after dropping them a note. Thanks!

I have one for sale, including the Fluval power supply, but it's missing the brackets that mount to the lid. There's a 3D printable one on Thingiverse, you could also use screws/zip-ties or some other form of plastic with screws to hold it in place.

I see this. Thread has gone in many different directions, but below is a link to the OEM’s replacement part.

warning: you will need to order the power cube separately.
