You have a very impressive- stunning reef.

No more condensation or heat build up under my canopy:

Those fans are great, right?! I was super stoked by how clean they look and how efficient and quiet they are!

Yep, pulls a decent amount of air and is almost silent on high. Now I just need to clean the carpet. [emoji849]

Gorgeous tank!

Any way I could get some larger FTS to share?

Thank you! What do you mean by "larger?" File size? Zoomed out to show the whole setup?

I really struggle with FTS because the tank is so big and I'm all LED.

Looks awesome as usual!

I'm really liking the way my Vivid's Rainbow Delight is looking these days:

And my BC Xmas, after one year of encrusting a 3 inch diameter bad, has finally popped some branches!

Very sweet tank, great acro collection, the Sunny Sunset Milli is incredible. Great work.

Fantastic looking tank.
I may have missed it while going over this thread, but what lighting system are you running and what brand of fan are you running to help vent your canopy.

Thank you. I run four Ocean Revive T247s over my tank and another over the first section of my sump so i don't have to have frag racks in my tank. The lights have had a few issues with fans stopping working, but the fixtures are really easy to work on and OR customer service is really good, even for being out of China. My lights have been out of warranty for a while, but OR hooks me up with parts for very low cost if necessary (they sold me a 5 fans for $3 each). I've also swapped out a bunch of diodes to customize my color.

The fans are Infinity brand I believe. You can get them on Amazon for < $25. Really slick looking.

Hey Sawdonkey, great tank! I'm digging the minimal aquascaping and I run the same lights.

Curious what your settings are on the lights? And what diodes did you swap out? All I did was remove the optics over the red and green diodes but I'm always down to tweak some more.
