    Ceiling Mount ideas for my new Kessil 350s?

    Jess, Actually I did ask on the 9th, and have yet to hear back one way or another. I'll send out a reminder email again. Think you can ask around? I'd need the middle section to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 15', and I'd need 2 :) I can get a more exact measurement tonight if...

    Ceiling Mount ideas for my new Kessil 350s?

    Tony, I did mention my concerns about voltage drop in my original phantom post :) I wasn't sure whether they would be significant over such a short run. The last time I really had to pay attention to that sort of thing was over 100' runs between floors in a business building. The...

    Ceiling Mount ideas for my new Kessil 350s?

    Hmm, looks like my comment last night didn't submit properly... Here's a quick rewrite. Current "probably not" ideas: Soffit. I liked this one, but it would be hard to incorporate with our room properly, see pics below. 'Floating' Canopy (the ones the cantilever out from the wall...

    Ceiling Mount ideas for my new Kessil 350s?

    This is a good idea. BTW Kessil's support responded to my email in a couple of hours, pretty fast response times. They said The box attached to the ceiling idea is probably the best compromise between aesthetics and circulation. If only the wall wasn't quite so empty and long right...

    Ceiling Mount ideas for my new Kessil 350s?

    Hey guys, I recently convinced the wife to let me purchase 2 of the Kessil 350's (the form factor won her over) and she wants them hanging from the ceiling. The only real difficulty is the giant powerbrick that converts the AC to DC (think laptop charger.) I've had one of the lights...

    Completely hard plumb a chiller?

    Awesome advice, everyone. I think I know what I'll be doing on the 4th! I have the tape already, but I didn't think of using the silicone, might pick up a tube of that as well when I get the rest of the fittings.

    Completely hard plumb a chiller?

    Hey everyone, I am getting ready to hook up my chiller again (it had the winter off because of a tank move) and due to everything being more exposed I would like to hard plumb the entire chiller loop unless there are compelling reasons why I shouldn't. On an old tank I used a mix of hard...

    Starting to pay attention again...

    Gladly! haha. I have a 72g bowfront which I inherited when my jbj 28g nanocube cracked from the top lip down to about an inch above the sand. Lucky for my livestock it happened at night, and with a little luck I was able to transfer all my corals and fish without loss. The 72g came with...

    Starting to pay attention again...

    I just wanted to take the chance to say hi. I've been reefing for a few years, and I've been a father for 11 months now. Which pretty much means I haven't taken a serious look at my fish in the past year :) I'm hoping that joining the club will help me catch the fever again!
