Thank you so much Louis 😊

Love your content Kaity, finding it super helpful. Got my first tank with a whole batch of 14 Yellow Lab fry. 2 weeks old now and their swimming around like little champs. Also 3 Blue Dolphins and 2 Bristlenose catfish. Im hooked on fishkeeping now as a hobby and researching my next tank. Id like to get the 6ft and go all out. Thanks heaps for sharing all your knowledge in such easy to understand ways, im enjoying learning and watching 😃

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you Chris!! It's such an amazing hobby and I'm really pleased to hear you're enjoying it 😊

[@garywong6084]

😊Please tell me? Why does the throat of the Fluval barrel get clogged so easily? Is it normal to wash it once every 3 weeks? Will halving the suction and drainage speed cause clogging😂😢? ? Can anyone share their opinion? 😊

[@ashdavies3761]

Love this tank set up. It looks great!!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much!

[@RANGIT920]

Wow those lights are amazing, oh man now I want some lol cheers Katie 😊 I'm new to the aquarium hobby and have learnt lots from you you're very informative. Thankyou 👍

[@Kaityscichlids]

That's so awesome to hear! Thank you 😊

[@dewittgeorge9242]

That is clean and nice tank setup 👍👍

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much :)

[@traviswilliamson833]

Who made your netted Lid? Its great!

[@HenrikRichard]

Hi Kaity! i have a question about this light mounting opcions. i can’t see in the video execly im looking for. so in your lid, u have space for the brackets and for the screws. 3 screws of yours are in the inside of the tank. my question is, can u swich the lower part of the mounting arm to make the screws facing to the wall? so the screws will be outside of the edge of the tank on the back side. i need to know becouse i have the 6ft waterbox having the overflow box in the middle, and my lid doesn’t have the space like u do. i planning to get 3 lights like this, but i want to keep my lid on, and to make holes on edge of the lid is not opcion. i hope i was able to explain what i need to know 😃. thank u! nice tank

[@davidsmith3268]

Good morning, what settings did you have on your lights? I’d like to copy that until I get comfy with the settings. Also where did you get that customized netted lid?

[@skicjd02]

This was great!!! Just joined your channel. I am upgrading to a 125 gallon aquarium and was toying with a rimless aquarium and the AI Prime lights. Your tank looks great! Where did you get your custom cover??? Thanks!

[@shannonmcdonald1431]

Man im considering getting a 6ft waterbox myself. But 837$ US dollars for 3 lights and 3 mounting brackets is highway robbery!! Lol your tank is amazing tho!

[@jamieroyal400]

Amazing video xx

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you 😊

[@jamieroyal400]

How often to u change purigen in filters

[@satjosh101]

Hi downgraded my reef tank to a fw shell dweller do you have a suggested setting for these cichlids?

[@eurospage1]

Looks great! 👍

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you 😄

[@lakedistrict9450]

Very helpful…thanks.

[@mindovrmatter33]

Do you think 3 would be too many for a 5'x2' tank? Love your setup!

[@KRSEL100]

I have the same lights the only problem i have is that the disco affect .i see you have the same problem. eny suggestions

[@seanaustin8516]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@peterjones3943]

I have a 36 inch by 20 inch tank I am going to aqua scape would I need two of these lights or would one be enough

[@Kaityscichlids]

You could get away with 1, but I would probably go with 2 if you can

[@masonkinch3725]

Hello is there a way of downloading the file what you have set up ?

[@Kaityscichlids]

Hi Mason! I'm not too sure how to do that

[@Damitsall]

How much algae do you get from these lights? I switched from old T8s and even on my planted tank it grows tons of algae now. I run the lights with pretty low settings too.

[@Kaityscichlids]

I did get pretty bad algae initially even on a low setting, but I got some bristlenose catfish that took care of it

[@bigmick1062]

Very nice....I've been looking at lighting for my 100.3 setup and like you will have Cichlids. Thanks for showing all the customization features, that is exactly what I want to do with mine. Do you feel I would need 1 or 2 of these for my tank? I'm thinking 2 of them?

[@Kaityscichlids]

I would definitely go with 2!

[@kikiux1535]

Do you know if cichlids like a specific color or do they get stress over a certain light color?

[@Kaityscichlids]

No that I'm aware of, but when I was first deciding on my lights/colour I took into consideration that in the wild they come from a lake that has a lot of sun on it all day with minimal foliage coverage so I opted for quite a bright white/blue tinge

[@KoiBoy6]

mind sharing what you light schedule and color levels are for reference?

[@Kaityscichlids]

Of course! The lights come on at 11 and are fully on by 12pm, then they dim down again at 10pm, and turn off by 11pm. I have the colour intensity all on around 10-15% I believe, they are super strong lights

[@KoiBoy6]

@@Kaityscichlids Are you just running based on the the K level and intensity or do you have actual % of each color set? It's hard to find something that fits just right on these.

[@Kaityscichlids]

@@KoiBoy6 I just had a proper look and I've them on 64% blue, 36% red and cool white, and 13% warm white. And it's running at 15W altogether. I don't know a lot about lights, that's pretty much the extent of what I understand 😂

[@MiniManAu]

Hey Kaity do you still like these lights? ive got a semi planted tank with bolivian rams ( based off your advice and love for them) and Im contemplating buying one!

[@Kaityscichlids]

That is so cool to hear! Bolivian rams are so awesome ❤️ And yes I absolutely love these lights. They have been great and so reliable

[@KRSEL100]

What clips do you use to hold the wire in place

[@Kaityscichlids]

They are just some electrical clips I got from Bunnings

[@KRSEL100]

How are they called maybe I can find on Amazon

[@CRUMPETSHERE]

Which wave maker are you using ?

[@Kaityscichlids]

I can't remember the old one I had (it broke), but I use an Aqua Illumination one now 😊

[@ricordea]

Beautiful. What size is the aquarium, dimensions?

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you :) It is 180cm(L) x 60cm (H), x 65cm (W) - it's the Waterbox Clearpro 7225

[@KRSEL100]

How much of those lights do I need for my waterbox aio peninsula 65.4

[@Kaityscichlids]

I would go with 2 of them

[@KRSEL100]

@@Kaityscichlids thanks

[@spironousiadis535]

what are your light settings?

[@Kaityscichlids]

Hi Spiro! It won't let me add a photo, but if you go to 3:15 on the video and pause it you can see the % I have each colour set on. They are on 1pm till 10pm with an hour sunrise and sunset

[@t1dirty]

Nice

[@oscarsanchez2253]

Cuanto mide tu tanque

[@Kaityscichlids]

It's this one - The Clearpro 7225 :) www.waterboxaquariums.eu/products/clear-pro?variant=39375988391981

[@redjack56]

Nice lights I just can’t understand the price , 3 of these cost more than my aquarium ! $$$$

[@Kaityscichlids]

Yes, they are super pricey!! They were all I could get, so I had to bite the bullet. The only other pendant lights I could get were Bioscape ones, and they were like $100 less per light, but didn't have a full colour spectrum/couldn't be dimmed. But I definitely would have liked to go for a cheaper option if I could have. I looked at DIY stuff too but didn't trust myself in that domain haha

[@thatoneguy6776]

$400 per light? This lady has some $$$$ for sure !
