Yes you have to cut the stock drain pipe and install a 32mm to 1in 90 degree elbow adapter then use 1in piping and measure out one straight piece to the back of the clarisea then a 1in 90 degree elbow then add a short piece of 1in pipe and add a 1in union adapter and then measure a piece of 1in pipe from the union to the inlet to the back of clarisea. Just dry fit everything before gluing all the pieces together it’s really not a tough job. It took me maybe a hour and a half total
Very cool!
Haven’t had any issues with the fire place it doesn’t get used often either. It’s a propane setup and throws out enough heat to take a chill out of a room but other then that it’s more for looks. As far as evaporation I fill a 5 gallon ATO tank once a week even in summer with air conditioning running it’s about 5 gallons a week.
They are the best lights in my opinion...I had 2 kessil A360 before and they arnt close in my opinion. I can’t speak the the new kessil AP9X I was going to get it but got burnt by a vender for 700 dollars and kessil did nothing to help the situation which kinda rubbed me the wrong way so I went with the Ecotech and couldn’t be happier. I really like the Mobius app and that all my equipment is on the same app. Cloud and thunder mode is a nice touch also I have it set for like a 15 percent chance for a few hours of the lighting schedule and every once and a while I’ll get cloud coverage or a storm it’s really just a cool feature. I found that the LPS template is the best and tweaking the color spectrum slightly. Lmk if you have any questions about it.
It is unfortunate about the Kessil issue. I actually have the AP9x over my XL300 and love it. With that being said, you can't go wrong with Radions and they are probably still the better light. Haha! Looks like you like your purchase!!! I am jealous that my tank is on like 29 different apps it feels...
