Alex put 4 screws in, plug it into the mains then run the wire to the L1 controller - 5 mins tops a(s long as you have the 24v cable not the one in the battery back-up box) 🐟

I know, I'm just being lazy 🙄

[@jonandlisa2000]

Nice rundown of equipment 👍

“The Nero 5 costs roughly the same as an MP40” Ah, the good ole days. Except it really wasn’t even that long ago!

[@ReefDork]

I didn't believe this comment so I had to watch the video back... Damn, you're right! 😅

[@enzomontini758]

Great vid with good quality gear

[@dudepros]

You have some seriously nice stuff there mate, i was just surpised with your par. Like you said you should of had enough with the kessil and 4 t5 tubes, but you can't go wrong with radion =)

[@simonsouter2375]

I'd upgrade the refugium light, too much risk of rust contamination. The new AI light you mentioned should perform the same on 1/3 of the electricity...

[@ReefDork]

It's tempting I have to say and you're probably right. One for the future maybe...

Hi! My deltec 1500i skimmer not do much work. It skims very Little. I did adjustion, hihger the Power, but no result even when i didnt change water for a month. I have a 750liter reef tank. 6 fishesh and couple of corals. high nitrate and phosphate.

[@ReefDork]

That's odd. I can't really help you I'm afraid - Deltec usually get pretty good results!

[@mihaia6026]

@@ReefDork Hi , I have a question related to your light setup. Does your Giesemann Stellar set includes all the pieces you need to fix the LED fixture in place in the middle of the Giesemann Stellar or you need to buy them separately?

[@ReefDork]

Yes it does - it comes with two sets of brackets so you can add two LED units. You can buy more brackets from Giesemann if you need them.

[@kevindaniels7235]

Don't worry, with a 750 liter tank and 6 fish is probably not enough waste for the skimmer. I had the same problem at the start of my aquarium. the skimmer will work after a while .. Pay attention to the water level required for the skimmer to work properly. I recommend using cheato for the high nitrades and phosphates. Also do waterchanges weekly.

[@skookumchuckreefer978]

What kind of heaters do you use? Ditto for controller. Or do you use smart plugs?
