Floundering_Around Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Unfortunately, as I was moving back to college after winter break, all of my plugs and cords for my tank's equipment got wet. Some of the equipment just uses standard plugs so after drying off, they were able to be plugged right back in and continue working. However, my new aqamai kps and the adapter and timer for my light currently do not work. I am unsure if they'll start working after drying out some more but as of right now, my tank has had no light since Sunday (other than sunlight from a nearby window) and a backup pump for flow. Up until now, I've been using the stock light for the fluval evo 13.5 and it's was working out well. If I can't get a new adapter from fluval (the actual light is fine), then I will be looking into a different LED that's appropriate for the evo 13.5. I'll also need a lid for the tank as I want to 1) minimize evaporation, 2) keep my fish from jumping, and 3) keep my roommate's cat out of the tank. If this is cheaper than getting a new stock light or at least comparable, any suggestions would be appreciated!!! 🙂 I need to get a light back on my tank as soon as possible. current tank stock: - softies (GSP, mushrooms) -LPS (acans, duncan, torch, goniopora) -SPS (pocilipora) - inverts (RFAs) - NPS Quote Link to comment

Gourami Swami Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I have this same light, works well and is the cheapest option by far. Os far as the top goes, you could DIY a mesh top, or you could just get a piece of 1/2" acrylic cut to the right size at home depot, and use the "rimless tank lid clips" they sell on amazon/ebay to hold it up Quote Link to comment
Floundering_Around Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 @reefkid what's your experience with the light you listed? Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Me personally I have none,but there are a handful of people like @Gourami Swami who has been using it for a good amount of time and there is this gorgeous tank: https://www.advancedaquarist.com/blog/remarkable-floating-nano-reef Par readings: Quote Link to comment
xthunt Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Heres a build using that light: 1 Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The hipargero has a lot of good reviews on it. It would be a good budget light for the evo. Quote Link to comment
