Hey everyone just got the new quanta helix in and wanted to give a shout out to Luca for all the help. Got home from work yesterday and just popped it up to see what it looked like. First of all this tank has been all about keeping it simple and economical, so building a t-slot mount or ceiling mount was a no go. Also have lids for the eel so didn’t want to mess with tank mounts. The 3-D printed mounts from quanta are actually pretty secure and really nice, incredibly simple as well. The light itself is really nice and surprisingly heavy, build quality is beyond its price point. Was pretty worried about a bright white from this light but it seems like a solid balance and enough pop that I absolutely don’t regret the reef crest. Anyone stacking this with the meso blue?

Assuming all functions well, looks great!!
 
I'm using three Reef Crest Daylights with two Meso Blues over a new 100 gallon sps tank (no corals to look at yet--just new frags). I'm running the daylights at 65% and the blues at 56%, and I'm loving the combination. Luca really did a great job with these lights!
 
Everything is functioning great so far, easy to dial in and I set the timer up on a kasa smart plug. @jbrady429 That’s great to hear, I think I’ll let the tank get used to this one and order a meso in the next month. Also probably less eye rolling from the wife
