Kessil a80

I just wanted to post that I got a kessil a80 (about half of the 160) today and really love it. I haven't had much of a chance to use it yet but from what I have, I like it. It fully covers my 24x10x10 tank with no spillover.

I have a thread at nano-reef.com in all-in-ones where I will be posting a video and picture tomorrow. The thread title is jbj rl-10-fp. You can see my box of rocks and algae farm. : )

 

Well, at the moment I have a green star polyps, ocellaris clownfish, a six-line wrasse, a hermit crab, astrea snail, mexican turbo snail and sea hare. I had an anemone which I wanted to keep but it was walking into a powerhead. I don't know about future plans. I would like to grow some microfauna like pods and such and figure out a way to get rid of so much algae naturally. I'm hoping the algae scrubber, sea hare and gfo will help with that.
I like some corals like some polyps and a few hard corals, acropora, cats paw, montipora but I'll have to see.
None of the leds seem very bright to my eyes but I think that is usual and they are a lot brighter than they look.

It didn't seem like it would be sturdy to me but that's how the people who made it built it so I figured it must work. The stand is an old 14g biocube stand and then there is a black square of plastic, not filled in much underneath, about an inch high, with four small round rubber stand-offs that the tank sits on. I think jbj was trying to give it a nuvo look like other all-in-ones on the market.
