I guess it's not really rimless anymore I had a friend who owns a framing company make me a custom frame to fit around the edges. I then attached some bird netting that I got at HD and attached it with staples so my fishes can't jump out!

Not a nano though :( Don't be surprised if your thread gets moved. Nano is 34g or less per forum rules.

I love the kessil great coral growth and the adjustability is nice can create your own spectrum.
i got it also for the fact that there is not a ton of light bleed in the room it is concentrated to mostly the tank!!

I have the same 50g cube and was looking to get a Kessil a350 also. Thanks for the pics. The tank looks real nice.

I love the custom canopy. Would your friend be willing to build and ship another custom canopy like yours?

Very pretty tank. I'm having a rimless 36"x24"x18" built this summer and am considering Kessil for my lighting. I didn't see it noted, would you post the dimensions of your tank? Thanks!

Thanks I can talk to him its pretty easy almost like you are framing a picture. I bet if you went to a local frame shop and told them what you are doing they would have no problem making something aimilar . You won't be dissapointed by the kessil!!

Tank is 20x20x20 I think for the dimensions of your tank you should wait until the wide angle version comes out wider spread but with less depth penetration. You might need two for that size though? Good luck with the build!!:D

Using the following input parameters
Tank Length = 20 inches
Tank Width = 20 inches
Tank Height = 20 inches

Tank volume is calculated as
Tank Volume = 34.6 Gallons

Am I missing something? I though your tank was a 50G.

I saw a Kessil today in person and I was taken back by the results of that light. Doesnt look to be anything short of perfect for that tank.

I had two of the A150 one Ocean Blue 10K and one Sky Blue 15k on it before the A350 came out. I was so impressed with the combination of the two of these that I had to have the 350 when it came out. I really like it and for this size of tank it's perfect.

How are you liking that skimmer?

It's nice a definite upgrade from the skimmer that comes with this setup. I bought this second hand and a big part of it was because of the upgraded skimmer! I am just getting it dialed in now but overall it skims great and would recommend it for a tank this size.

I ordered a Kessil a350 last night. You got the regular one right? Not the wide a350w? I'll check out some local frame shops but if your friend says he can do it then maybe we can work something out. Since he's already done one it would save me from having to explain it to someone and he could probably match the finish of the stand better after having seen yours. Your tank is a cadlights artisan 50g cube right with the espresso stand?

I did get the regular A350 i'm not sure the other one is out or maybe it is it wasn't when i ordered mine!! My tank is a knockoff of the artisan but i think it might be similar. I'll talk to my buddy see what might be feasible to ship and get you a cost.

The wide one just came out recently. I was told that for the 24" cube it would be better to get the regular A350 since it would provide enough coverage and offers more focused power in case I wanted to keep SPS. I could have sworn it was the same tank. The stand, the seams, the return nozzles, and even the sump are the same. Let me know what your friend says.

i'm thinking on a kessil 350w for my 24"x24"x20"(L x W x H) cube does anyone can tell me if it is enough for my tank?? thanks

2? for you. 1. What is the intensity at on your light? ive got a 24x24x12 and was thinking about the 350w but looking at your tank with the regular 350s it looks like it should work for me just fine, since my tank is 6inchs shorter than yours. 2. Where did you get your skimmer from? Im looking at the SWC but no LFS sells them so I got to order it online. and i guess one more thing everyone whos got the a350 and 350w you all should post lots of pictures and tank dimensions lol

Apparently I cant PM you untill I have 10 posts but I am getting a almost the same exact tank this week. I live near Costa Mesa and I was wondering if I could get the contact information of the friend that built you the frame on top of the tank.

Thanks for the help
