I am super stoked about receiving my new #illumagic blaze x 6 foot LEDs! Does anyone have any experience with these lights? I can’t wait to see the amount of growth these lights will provide. My first impressions are that these lights are super sleek and very solid! The entire body of the light is made out of solid aluminum acting like a giant heat sink! The panels of the lights are made out of beautiful glass! Best of all, this light is completely modular! Unfortunately one of the panels came broken but I am able to swap a brand new one in. It was not hard at all to get a replacement because #uniquecorals stand behind their product and is shipping me a replacement panel for FREE! This light is completely wireless Bluetooth and there are apps on both iOS and android to control the light. It is very easy to setup and control. I connected to the light wirelessly in literally 5 seconds!

Pick up this guy for my 400 gallon predator tank! He is very photogenic and has a lot of personalities!

3/4” lids to keep the eel and moisture in!

Picked up some cinderblocks to raise up my 300 gallon Rubbermaid. I still can’t believe they all fit in my car [emoji38]

I’ll be drilling 2 additional holes for 2 additional bulkheads on this sump to better drain into the main sump. I might have to upgrade the pipes into 2” [emoji848]

I can't believe you're transporting cinder blocks in the back of your c7! Funny thing is I'd probably do the sam!

Made some progress today. Going to replumb the 300 gallon Rubbermaid. Doing 3 2” bulkheads for the drain so I can get more flow through it. Had to re-epoxy the floor.

I’m trying to clean up my messy basement while the epoxy dries. At least I have a sweet tank to look at while I clean lol

Not bad right now during the winter. Summer I’ll have mini split AC running to take out humidity
