I would recommend and AI Prime 16hd. Also, this is the second time today I’ve seen someone refer to a hammer coral as a ‘hammerhead’, before today I’d never heard anyone use that name.

Thank you! Going back and looking at pictures really makes me regret my decision to take it down.

This is an inTank part specifically made for this tank. I really do like it as it covers everything up, has some height, and the back part is completely open leaving plenty of room for cords and mounts. I believe they make the same thing for other tanks. The $30 price tag seems a little steep, but worth it imo.

Here is the link to their product page. You can also purchase this from Amazon and I am selling mine here.
Just ordered it! Thank you so much again.
Also if you selling Hanna testers I would be interested.

I'm still using the stock lights. I just made a bracket for them and discarded the cover. I just drilled holes carefully into both sides of the light with a 1/8" drill bit. This allows me to lift the light out of my way. Might help until you decide on a light.

Welcome!

I hear you with the lid. That thing was driving me crazy any time I needed to get in the tank. AI Prime and a mesh top is the way to go.

Where did you get the raised cover for the media chambers?
