The tanks looking really nice Stephanie. You have a knack for this hobby for sure!

I think your tank and setup has progressively grown nicer and always room for improvement but I think most any reefer who isn't high and mighty would be HONORED to own that tank and setup. Thank you for sharing the progress with us and the dialogue of why you made the changes and what you did.
I would only work towards running the light cables up out the top of the shade and then use conduit painted to match the wall behind the tank. It would make those lights look more like they are floating. I know could also happily live with the cables exposed but run up and out the top of the shade again, if cords are long enough. Otherwise I wouldn't be worried about how it looks. Function over everything. Haha.

I love those shades! They look so feng shui!!!

Stephie 🥰❤️ happy Valentine’s Day 😘💐 I have my first corals now, officially first one in the tank was a green ricordea, then the next day my post arrived with a candy cane, favia, blasto, acan and alveapora 🥰, so far all doing well except the blasto seems a bit unhappy, but if I can have most survive I’ll be happy coz I’m still learning and only just starting my reefing experience 🍻🥰

You should try drilling through the lampshade, going straight to the wall and using a cable hide going down the wall. That will give it a nice, clean look.

Great looking tank. Have you thought of passing the power cables from pendant to the next so that you only have one cable (4 cables together) going behind the tank? It would make it look more manicured. You could even plant the cables and run them on a track down the wall if you really want to make it hard to notice.

Looks awesome. You need to go see Polo Reef, it's amazing.

Beautiful tank, do you have a video of your current light settings? I was browsing and couldn't find. Thanks.

Tank looks great. I would recommend scraping the back of the glass for a more cleaner look and makes the corals pop even more. 👍🏼
If it were me dealing with the cables you got hanging from your lights. I would just drill a hole from the top of the dome of the light. Sand the rim of the hole so it feels not sharp to cut the cable going through it. Run the cable through it. Get all the cables running towards the center light fixture. Zip tie around the center. Now get some cable sleeves. Cover the cables with the sleeves. Now before you put the sleeves on the cables. I would paint them to match the color of the wall so it gives it the illusion of it not being there. Then just get a wire track and have it going down the wall. Paint the track to match the existing wall cover also. Now you may need a 1 wall bracket in the center to zip tie the cables to; as you guide the wire down the wall cover. The bracket is to counter the weight of the cables pulling the fixtures and making them look like if something is being pulled.
Just a thought to help without making all these holes in your wall💭..🤔🤔.
Corals and fish look nice. Great video..

Great idea with the cables, use some white cable conduit between the light and the wall.

[tonycloseukreef]

Great video Stephanie tank looking fabulous 😍👍

[drumklok]

Sleak lookin light fixtures, too bad about the cables tho. Might you find longer ones elsewhere? Radioshack maybe?

[mrcovert]

I'd recommend a electrician installing a power outlet above your tank and the plug all your radions into it. It shouldn't be to much. Or you can run black conduit right up the middle of the wall with a power outlet on the ceiling and give it a industrial look if that's what your going for.

Looking good.👍 Those Hammers have a visishes sting and long reach.

[BahamaLlamaCoral]

Maybe try and get the wireless model of Radion? 🤣 It looks great! Keep up the good work!

[artistic_spaz]
