Felt my lighting too low above water. It just 1ft above water. Orphek suggest is 1.5ft above water.
So got no choice then gotta drill the ceiling put on wall plug
Here’s how I did
Measure the position of the light. Plan out a aluminum rod so that I can move my light left to right

Just some prevent all dirt flying around. I just stick on a plastic bag to hold the dirt and thanks thanks to my wife, she helped me hold a vacuum just beside my drill hole

Tadah! Done. Prevent rod moving left or right. I drill small hole and cable tide the rod with the wall plug together [emoji1365]

Amazing looking tank and photos.

Nice to see some more orphek feedback. I just added an OR120 UV strip to my setup and love it.

Also what are you using for photos? Great pics

Wow, can you ship one to me? Haha

[emoji13]if can ship why not. But only 1 and only 1 of this comes in shipment and I took it first [emoji39]

Feed it with reef Roid soak with small fish pallets.

Left side is bleached [emoji173]️ shape lobo? I moved it down to sump for direct feeding.
