I had a dilemma where, I wanted to mount all my MP60 controllers all in one spot in the controller box on the right side of the tank. But the dang wire was to short. So I contacted ecotech to see if they sold the extension wires, they told me I had to ship it in and they would make the connection for me, I asked if they would provide a new cable for the proper length, they said no, it would be an extension. It didnt make sense, apparently it was for liability reason. So I decided to make it my self, bought a broken MP drive and a molex kit. Total was less then $20, oppose to over 100 with shipping with ecotech. Working great!!

There is no better combination than a handy man and his tools.

Amazing build and frags colelction. Interested to see how that Robs feathermoon efflow grows as it looks more branching than usual efflos.

Wow thats amazing. Efflos are my favorite SPS. How long did it take you to grow it to that size and did it start from a frag?

Got it as a 3" frag. Took about a year and a half. It was over 12" wide

Few updated pics, I took a few days ago. Every frag I put in has been encrusting nicely.

[emoji3], find my son looking at our tank more often. He just looked at me and said " This is what's up, for real"

Definitely a awesome tank.

Those Orpheks make the look complete.
Do you have an idea about the PAR readings?

Holy cow I was thinking the same thing. You could easily have gone with 3 instead of 6. Must be pretty high par for sure.

No par readings at the moment.

6 is perfect, 90 deg lens are not very wide. Not alot of light spillage. Tank should be closed to full blown in 2 years
