And here is the reason I wanted to try these little tunze powerheads.. picture of the tank after I put them in

If ya look close enough you can see the cords, which will be more visible when I add a real light to the tank... but the fact that you can't see the actual pump is what I was after... although I'm not 100% sold on the flow yet... have to see it with some corals to move around...

Ordered a hydra 26 HD... got it in yesterday. Pretty sweet light, although the app isn't working for me. Was able to program it with my surface for now.

Light stand looks better than I anticipated and the wife approved ;)

Gonna likely need another hydra when things are in and growing... maybe t5 retro if can figure out a way to get on the light stand without looking too bad...

Also ammonia dropped to about .50.. and I detected nitrites for the first time.. so they cycle is moving...
