Thanks mate!
The rock is great and the stuff I got was directly picked by the owner of the company! His show tank has this stuff running in version on and the tank is running great

Matt for you I'll post anything ;-)

https://www.atollriffdeko.de

First of all it's on German and second the new rock like mine isn't officially on the market. He is figuring out all the marketing stuff!
But will be ready soon

Cheers

Sorry for the off topic tech assist Flo but Dennis needs a hand.

1. Go to language settings in your browser
2. Find and open up: Advanced Encryption
3. Untick the little box marked: Crazy Gibberish
4. Restart your browser and your posts will make sense.

I really like the minimalistic look of the scape. I see so many places for corals and so many ways how the fish can swim through it all

What do you guys think of it?

Cheers
I love it Flo

Hahaha gibberish and that coming from an aussi

Thanks yes I love it too and going to glue it over the weekend

Only thing I'll do is put some eggcrate under the scape to lift it a bit so that the sand doesn't burry it all again

Cheers

Are you planning egg crate stands or just laying it flat on the bottom? What size sand are you using?

Cool!
Very industrial heat sink.
How is the controller?
Can you take a pic of the lights? I want to see the colours.

Please.

Here you go Matt


The controller is very simple and can be made wifi accessible
The software is simple too, no single color Chanel change just the ratio between white and blue.
That i like very much.
All the options I had when I used the Ecotech Radion was a bit too much for me. Always wondering if I'm running the right colors for my corals...

Cheers

Thanks man!
In fact this design was criticized by many... saying the light can only be used inside canopies... i will hide them too and yes they are way bigger then radion but I do like the design

Thanks master!
The retail price is 750€ and 70€ for the controller who is able to control up to 4 lights
But the street price is lower, I got mine for around 680€, so cheaper then the radion and pro

Cheers

What do you mean street price ? Did you buy it out of the boot of a car parked on the street...... like is it black market aquarium gear Flo......... did not pick you for someone who would take part in such activities mate - let alone bragging about it all over the web..........

This is why you are my good mate despite being Austrian Flo, you're not afraid to risk it all for your hobby !
