Burnout is a real struggle. I totally get it when it comes to making content. Sometimes you just let it coast. Hats off to you for pushing through! Tank looks great.
Thanks! Some corals really don't like the amount of light, but some love it. It's funny how towards the end of a sunny day, many will close up so I started putting the blinds down half way during direct sun. Winter will be easier as it won't get direct sun but still lots of indirect sun.
I used industrial strength Velcro tape to add a controller board made from 1/2 inch white pvc sheet (bought at Home Despot), just velcroed the board to my 8020 stand. Controls are all velcroed to the board for easy mounting/future rearrangement. If you want to go full ocd you can drill wire holes in the board to run wires and hide power bricks behind the board, also mounted with Velcro. Done with minimal expense😂 and effort, and much neater.
Might do some drilling, good idea!. I am using the Super Heavy Duty velcro that's like plastic loops on both sides. It works for all the big stuff but not the cables and little AI pump controllers. I was also thinking of securing them to something bigger then velcroing that up there, like on a piece of thin plastic or something.
I sort of set my systems up to be burnout proof. I think that's something I learned over the years of doing this is that you won't always have the same drive so I didn't want to set up anything too labor intensive.
My thermometer fell in the back when I set it up so I never looked. I pulled it up and set it out front. I waited for a warm day with lots of light and it went up about 2 degrees which was surprising. I thought It would be much more. 77 to about 79 with lots of direct light.
I don’t think any coral needs LEDs to look good, they all look how they’re supposed to look under natural sunlight. Would love to see some Acropora in there.
Natural light changes as you go deeper, so the yellowy sunlight doesn't look yellowy at 30 feet. Either way, all hammers look brown under sunlight but I have some fancy ones that I prefer under LEDs to see the color I paid for, lol.

Nice nano tanks. Looks like they are loving that natural sun light.

Appreciate the update. Hopefully the burnout wears off..
Tanks looks awesome! Thanks for the update!
Thanks Matt!

sure hope when I get burnt out my tank looks like that. Well done sir.

Burnout happens, ride the wave
How warm does this tank tend to get?
