Could you take a photo of how you hung the light on this shelf? I want to make the same one, but I’m choosing hanging options. I will need to hang two Orphek OR3 and two Kessil AP9X strips. Thank you.

Why not just hang from the ceiling? This looks fine for a fish room over a QT tank but there's no way in heck I'd do this over my 10k main display. Bro must not have a lady in the house. Lol

Also, I used some heavy duty shelving brackets and made sure to secure them to the studs. . .

Thanks

I used the Orphek Universal mounting bracket which worked great with the Reefbreeders Photon. Once I had the Orphek bars connected to the Reefbreeders I used the hanging hardware that came with the Orphek led bars and hung them to self tapping hooks. This setup is very sturdy……

I actually got it at Menards . . .

Here are a couple pics. I currently moved all of my SPS and LPS frags from my 120 over and 2 semi large Maxima clams. I pretty much moved every thing that was consuming calcium and alkalinity so that way I knew to match the dosing from my 120. So far readings have been stable around 420 calcium and 7.6 dkh. I plan on slowly bringing the alk up. I will list the fish and invert line up shortly. . . .

I catch Patrick everywhere. He actually moves pretty fast.

Started glueing corals. . .

Got the Icecap Algae Turf scrubber running and figured I’d take a picture of the UV sterilizer. I love that the ballast counts down from 365 and lets you know for replacement I should take a picture of that as wel…..

Been looking at that one, what do you think of the quality?

I was actually impressed. I read a lot of reviews and a few had came broken, but mine showed up well constructed and there was acrylic shielding the led panels from getting wet. Super easy to set up! We shall see in a few weeks if I have good growth on the screen. I like the concept.

I think for the money it is a good buy honestly, but again time will be the ultimate test.....

I'm going to wait and see from you haha did you get the medium or large one?

Medium . . . should be big enough as I am also running skimmer. Some people report they don't have to run a skimmer with their scrubber . . .
