What are your tanks dimensions? Is it a marine land 300 DD?

It's a 270. 6x3x2. Set up as a peninsula.

Thanks, Jack!
And thanks d2mini Dennis for the tip on wire management. I pulled the halides out last night. Can't wait to get the new lights! I suppose I should try to sell my Lumatek ballast and Hamilton 250DE's. I bet there isn't much demand for those now though. I ordered all of this for better wire/equipment management to. It should really clean up the inside of the cabinet because currently, it's less than ideal. 1 of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2 more of these https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/vorte...ch-marine.html 5 of these https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/power...umination.html

Kessil's arrive today and I couldn't be more excited. The above items are out for delivery as well. I am taking everything out to redo all the wiring. I also plan to do a major water change and clean out the sump. Already pulled the skimmer out to give it a good clean.

Looking good Brandon!
Curious how you'll like the kessils. I have another section of that same cable raceway arriving this week too. lol

The 2" cable raceway was a little tight so I ordered the 3". Lights were delayed and arrive today. Placed my first live Aquaria divers den order so anxious to see how the stuff looks. Got some sps and a black clam. Also bought a bunch of stuff from the lfs that I'll post this weekend.

I picked up and mounted my AP700's yesterday. No photos yet.
I am very impressed with them. I never wanted to go LED prior because I didn't like the pinpoint of color I saw on the bottom of most tanks. I also didn't like the shimmer they created. These are much closer to MH in regards to the shimmer and there is no individual LED pinpoint on the bottom whatsoever. The proprietary actinic blue they create is amazing and the colors pop like I never imagined. The 10 point custom graphs are great. I have mine set from 2% full blue starting at 8:30 am to 65% peak full white at 1pm. Drops to 25% at 6:30 pm then to 1%. It just gradual moves from one point to the other which is very nice. The lunar function is fantastic too. Using the app is very easy and straight forward. It's slightly annoying that I have to connect to the AP700's and then back to wifi when using them but I don't see the need to make changes too often. Storm feature is very cool although more gimmicky than anything. People love to watch it though.. I will say that they do not have the intensity or coverage like the MH's did but I feel that the pros far outway the cons thus far. I decided to keep all 8 T5's because it really helps fill in some of the spots that the AP700's don't reach and I am seriously considering adding a 3rd fixture which I think would be perfect for this peninsula style layout. In summary, I am glad I made the swap!

Don’t mistake the brightness for not matching intensity. LEDs in general are super intense but don’t look as bright to the eye.

I understand that, but I just meant visually.

Wiring was a mess before. So much better now! Here are some shots at 65% intensity with almost all white. Plus the T5's.

Looks nice, cable management and tank overall. Mind if I ask what fish this is?

Thanks! Pink tail trigger. Picks at snails every now and then but doesn't touch any coral.
