I plan to buy a larger power adapter to combine units and take up fewer outlets. But I'm having trouble finding the specific specs of the unit. Can any of you snap a photo for me? Thanks!
Aquatic Life 36" Hybrid owners: Can I get a picture of your power adapter?

Just found out, from Aquatic Life, they don't actually have adapters/ballasts. lol I'm so used to everything needing one

And how does it feel like, to wake up in the sun
Yeah they're direct-wired to the ballast, so just a plug to the wall and you're done. Some of us have taken that further and modified the fixture to a single power cord, if that's your thing. Voids warranty FWIW.

Not sure what you mean by this. Since there is no external ballast, Isn't the cord straight from fixture to the wall already?

The unit comes with 2 power chords, one for each ballast as the unit has 2 ballast, a lot of us combine the 2 and hook it up to 1 power chord.
Their r several threads on this, I also put it in my build thread.

Ohhh, That's good to know. I'll plan my cord-organization and outlets-needs accordingly. Is there any heat risks with running both cords together? Electrical is still a thing I've avoided digging too far in to. Makes me a bit nervous

I upgraded the wiring, I think it came with a 18/3 chord and I replaced it with a 16/3 chord.
If you look at my build thread, page 3 you can see how I did it.

I forgot to mention I got the newer DX18s. Received them yesterday and thankfully only one power cord
