First, let me go just back a few posts to post #31 - The Successful but Meh Hanger
I take every 'Meh' back. Once the cords are zipped in it looks good.
As a bonus, if i need to move the light, I can just slide it to the side (the plant holders rotate in the conduit).
And, I reckon in the future...
HOLY COW UPDATE!
Last night filefish was on its side unmoving, large clown about the same, all zoas closed, all SPS withdrawn and fading color.
Left for work this morning and came home tonight to count my losses.
Everything is OK, I mean everything (except for those SPS that were acclimating...
One of these is going on the new tank with a powerhead or two...

As most shop dwarf hares I've seen are tinyish, I picked up 2 to raise them for a bit on algae and nori, adopting one out when it got a bit larger. They arrived full...
OK. I'll build it once the monster tank is done. Gonna LED this ^&^$%&^#^%$& up and paint pinstripes on it.
And those LEDS were. as expected, garbage.
I now have much more powerful LEDs on hand. Like the kind that is really bright if you look at it and if your friend says 'close your eyes' and...

Nice tank, great price! If I wasn't tackling the new monster I'd be picking this up as a display fragger.
