[Nhjmc]

Hi. Hoping someone can help me out here/wondering if anyone else has done what I am about to do to a 130D?.....finally got my AI light 26 hydra hd and mount/bracket and anxious to get out of work, get home and set it up but not sure how I am going to make it look "good" with all the black plastic pcs. tht are visible once hood is removed on back of the 130D. If anyone has any suggestions, thoughts, ideas feel free to reply

Thanks all!

Thanks! I picked up used back in October and have done just about all the upgrades I could to it over the past 7 months. I've had issues wanted to give up but stuck it out. Finally bit the bullet and didn't cheap out bought a AI hydra 26 HD (slightly used off Ebay) ordered the single HMS mount from AI and having a little bit of a hard time securing the light/feeling confident it's securely mounted because the tank is not rimless but I think it's pretty secure. I can say so far I'm SUPER impressed with the light. Course setting it up and finding the right intensities/settings etc. has been/still is a challenge but I'll keep researching online, watching BRST and youtube videos. For now and few weeks set in acclimation mode. For the first time I feel like my tank was actually starting to be a real reef tank loving what this light has done in one weeks time i.e. coral extension/size, overall look of the tank. For me the hydra blows stock red sea T5's out of the water!

Got a photo of your set up? I'm in the same situation except I need to restart the whole thing since I haven't seen it since UK lockdown began back in March. I'm running a Kessil a360we over mine and thinking about adding a Chinese Black Box for extra oomph.

A word of advise the back Chambers do need a good clean out and I've learned to to put it directly against a wall to allow for maintenance

I bought an intank media basket and Tunze 9001 skimmer but can’t get the skimmer to skim and have it 6 weeks of messing with it so took out put stock Red Sea skimmer and filtration back in.
