hah; Why not? They already live in the Midwest and listen to rap
 
The old Sam would've turned it on already... I'm going to wait at least until morning... (could hear the panes of glass moving against each other when I was moving the tank. I probably should've disassembled it and redone the seems but its an old tank... lots of chips on the corners. I'll replace it eventually.

Installed! So stoked! What a rich color they’re putting out!

figured it out! yay! also; needed to add a router for my basement...:/
2 of the 3 connected... the far one didnt. oh well. easy enough. I'll reassign all the fishy stuff to this router so at least its all portable.

I wish the Orphek salesperson I talked with convinced me todo a Day Plus instead of the second BluePlus, Oh-well; I'll aspire to the fourth in the future. Man-o-man its blue.
 
Finished the install!
Room for the fourth I eventually want to add. Par is pretty good but there could definitely be a fourth fixture for my eventual @Battlecorals SPS garden.
I’ll have to up my drips.
I plan to move the mangrove garden to the top shelf and the ATO reservoir to the second shelf so I can close-up that cladding and still feed the bumblebee shrimp.
