I couldn't stand it. I had to add a second light, but, how to do it with only one gooseneck arm? Once again, 2020 to the rescue!

I don't like photographing kessils. It looks like the sand is dirty but it's not.

I do think I am going to find some black 2020 though.

I also have a 1 foot right angle plug cable to connect the two lights together so I can get rid of the ugly cable on there now.

BTW, if anyone has doubts about a cheap audio cable working to connect kessils, here's the proof they work.

Even 20-25' ones from amazon work just fine lol.

Didn't know there was a more expensive version.

I wanted longer than 6'! Now I can hide them.

Came in a bucket with some half dead frags and a dead pajama cardinal. I never thought it would make it.

The kessil ones are just too expensive for what they are. I use the ones from dollar tree for the longer cables.

I got mine from microcenter. Didn't even check if kessil had a branded one.

I had someone tell me, before I bought my first controllable kessils, that you HAD to use the ones from kessil or it smoked them. lol

I wish I had a microcenter closer than 4 hours.

Dude this is my dream tank as well!
I was just joking around about the power supply. You should see where I just hung my power bar. It DEFINITELY IS NOT above the sump o_O

RSR are great. I am just really old school. I am racist against those all in one, combo, prebuilt, or anything other than those tanks that come with more than a tank, light and hood. A Marineland tank, stand and canopy combo is about as far as I go.:eek:

I‘m just wacky. Keep the pics coming. I have a dream one day of having enough money to do a tank like in dispicable me. Surrounds the couch in the living room.

mine is dangerously located between my house and the lfs that is now giving me credit for 3d prints. It also shares a parking lot with home depot...

i need to be better about pricing. also urchin hats don't really make it worth the effort, as small as it is.
50 of these though, that'll be worth something.
