Very nicely done[emoji1303][emoji12]. Honest question to you XxJDMcivicEK9xX , how are you liking the 3 Kessil A360’s over your tank ? Are you thinking maybe of adding more light down the road either T5 or more LEDs ?

Honest opinion, I really like them. They don’t get enough credit and I feel have been overlooked by more “bells and whistles” led lights. Here is a video of my last 125gal setup running 3- a360we programmed with my Apex.

XxJDMcivicEK9xX Very nice set-up ! Loved the 125g ! Thank you for telling my your honest opinion about the Kessils ! I am currently battling to get a pair of Kessil A360wE or a pair of Ecotech Marine XR15PROS, for my Aquaticlife T5 4 Bulb hybrid.. for the LEDs over my 75g . I am assuming you would tell me or encourage me to go the Kessil route lol

Did a little rearranging of some coral and picked up and installed some Loc Line Fittings on the returns. I’m debating on painting the white pvc parts with black Krylon fusion opinions?

It should get covered in coraline in time so it’s your opinion

If you're going to remove it to paint anyway, just pull the pipe and replace with sch 80 (gray) instead...

You will be a lot happier with SCH. 80 I think.

Nice tank! A few questions:
1. What did you use to cover the back and sides of the tank? Is it removable and replaceable?
2. How did the humidity switch work out? Do you have an air exchange or a vent fan?

That did cross my mind but I will see how quickly it gets covered in coraline
Thanks for the input! I think I will see how quickly it gets covered in coraline
It is black foam board that I cut into sections that fit snug between the top lip and bottom lip of the tank
the switch is working good, I will say ended up setting it on an interval schedule to run every hour for 30 min. I think the humidity was rising to slowly to set the actual sensor off as much as I was wanting it too. I use a cent fan that vents the humidity to the exterior of the house.
