BTW the lighting was super easy to set up. I have it set for 8 am sunrise (when I wake up in the morning) till 11pm. It's really cool to see the lighting gradually decrease 'till it's off. It's nice to not have to need a light timer for this setup.

 

So far I'm liking the color at 50/50...but that might change as I start adding stuff.

Dammit guys! Dual lily pipes? Really? That's double the cleaning! :lol: I don't need the extra flow or anything...I have a damn MP10! :haha:

 

Lololol you're going 50/50 already and there's nothing in it?? Save the energy man. Lol

 

Just a trial man...gotta test the new toys! :D I have the time points set up to ramp to to 40% on both channels during the day, fading out to off at night.

They're used to slow down flow in planted tanks...they look kinda cool, but I don't think they're necissary for our applications. Plus the price is :bling:

 

 

(God I hate it when people record vertically on their phones! So annoying! <_<) Might be too small for my specific application as well.

I see it! LOL That thing is so nice and invisible. Is it the 13mm one?

 

Just get one of those knockoffs on ebay. :)

Sorta...but it comes out in a swirl to reduce flow.

Yup...it's nice and clear. I believe it's 13mm, yes.

 

Just get one of those knockoffs on ebay. :)

 

Exactly what mine is! :)

Lol reduce flow? Doesn't everybody want more flow?

 

Well for us, yeah. A lot of times in planted tanks, you want to reduce flow a bit depending on the inhabitants...

 

P.S. - eating a PRIME grade burger right now...just for you!

Either right or left corner. Depending on the tank placement in the room

 

That was my original plan. Well, the tank to the left of my computer desk in my room, so I figure to try to funnel all of the wiring and stuff to the right side (in between). That way when people walk in all they see is the tank contents...or at least that's the idea.

 

I'll try to get some pics of my layout when I get home.

The razor looks great, makes me want one even more :D. Hmm razor or sol, decisions decisions haha.

 

Whichever is cheaper in your area?

 

I'd go with the razor lol. Not nano razor but razor. :)

Both are roughly the same price in my area which is much more then I want to pay haha. I am looking at second hand from the US to make it worth while. I would definitely be looking at a 20.5" razor. I want to get more then I need for my next fixture because I will be buying a second one to cover the new tank I want when I get my own place.

You can kinda see my computer desk in my room...which is kinda why I want to put the overflow in the top right. Keep all the wires/clutter to one side.

Lights on as low as possible (A: 1, B: 1). Still came out crappy. :closedeyes:
