All done! Now I have just one cord for the t5 and one for the AP700. Thank you @Behnken for the inspiration and @Fudsey for finding the information for me :)

Nice man! That ap700 makes a big difference but I still like the look of the original kessil.
Looking good though man! Subscribed.
I love the 360s as well, but I got such a good deal on the AP700 I couldn't pass it up :)

I got super lucky, they were right next next to the cord strain relief fittings at true value. Had a whole assortment bin of different size plugs.
Nice job ! !

Where'd you find a cap?

This is my new little polyp buddy :)
@Ryanbrs @randyBRS @Bulk Reef Supply My only complaint is this polyp doesn't seem to grow! Only when I spend money with brs ;Hilarious:D

ahh, ati's - 2 blues and a coral + and a purple... looks good man, awesome color in that "best pic" pic

2 ATI Blue+, one ATI Coral+ and one ATI Purple+

This was the bulb combination suggested to me by Matt @BoomCorals , and I don't know if you've ever seen any of his corals in his frag tanks, but they look and grow amazing under this bulb combination.

Didn’t your Euphyllia used to be bigger?
It did..had a little accident. I was scrubbing the glass using a mag scrubber, and the inside piece came detatched so I reached in to grab it, bumped the hammer colony, and it broke off :( so I fragged it up and gave a bunch if heads away to local friends and decided to start new with just two heads :) it needed to be fragged down anyway, and this was the kick I needed to actually do it lol

That’s a shame, but it sounds like it could have been worse, and you got to share.

I’m a big fan of Euphyllia and remembered how covered that rock had been, it kinda startled me to see it so taken back, but I bet it will be a lot of fun to watch it grow back out.

Absolutely. Two years it took me to get it from a single polyp to as big as it was. Guess i'll have to wait another two :) :)
