I am going to cut the kit to fit on Thursday after the light shows up. The nem is pretty cool and I think I may get a couple more for this tank st some point.

Bulkreefsupply.com, search "screen top" and choose your size. You gotta assemble it yourself and make sure you buy clips(not included) so you have something to rest the lid on!
 
Yup. BRS has the kits. I was going to buy a lid from Artfully Acrylic but it's a $100 minimum plus shipping. Their lids are amazing though but I will wait till I order one for the 625XXL. The clips I got are the 6mm ones.
 
I built the screen top last night. was pretty straight forward but I need to trim out the back section a bit to fit the cord from the powerhead. I like that they give you a lot of screen and spline in case you need to redo it later. I also setup the Aqamai wireless powerhead. It's not exactly what I thought it would be in that it doesn't connect to your home wifi, but you connect to it via wifi. In the end, it's not a huge deal, but having it connect to my home network would be better. maybe that's a future upgrade, or maybe I missed something but it's $120 so I can't excpect mp10 features. Anyway once you connect to it via wifi and then the app you configure wireless profiles and you can set different patterns, wave, random, smooth etc, and time intervals. it's pretty slick actually and it's tiny.
 
Got the light installed yesterday. Still learning the programming on the AI but so far I like it. Took these pics with it ramping up this morning so they are only at 6%. I figure I will run it at a max of 25% to let the corals acclimate then bump it up from there. I was thinking a max of 60% for daily use after acclimation.
