The IM50 is a great tank! And your aquascape looks super, love the two-level holes for fish to swim through towards the back, I feel like I want this kind of aquascape too now :).
 
@popper Looks really nice dude! How to you like the Kessil vs Radion?
Radion can pinpoint different corals color. If you want more red, you can dial it in to make that red coral more red while other colors won't look as nice. It has too many features that I don't care. It is fantastic if you want a specific color to pop.

Kessil is simpler, blue/intensity and love the shimmer reflection on the ceiling.
There isn't a Kessil app for Android

Got rid of the original yellow tang and added purple and yellow from Petco without qt.

light off for 36 hours with a mirror covering the front glass pansl.

Will be fine.

There's a Kessil app for Android, you just have to be on your home network to make changes and have the WiFi dongle (although it looks like you have the ap9x which doesn't need it). It sometimes forgets your light too and you have to reconnect it.
