Boodopora-nah mate, there are two separate cords. I run mine to a timed power pack with individual switches. In the four slots I have the filter, the lights, heater and then the Tunze. Timings for any of them is not an issue being of independent power sources.

Actually 6500k led will grow and support corals, but will promote a lot more of unwanted algae growth and will also look very yellow

Hey guys, so I've finished my initial set up and have attached some photos of the progress. Appreciate the opinions on the lights too.
Im curious to hear your thoughts on the void at the top-cognizant of the need for adequate o2 exchange-do u think I should fill a little more or take a little out?
Thanks!

I would leave it at that level of fullness. That way you can reach in and move stuff without overflowing it. It looks good! Make a little mark on the glass near the back where the water line is and that way you know where to refill to when you get evaporation loss.
Side note- my mom has that exact same brass divers helmet!

No! That's why I'm curious as to how your modification goes! I'll be purchasing from most likely the UK as I can't get anything remotely close to what I like for the Edge in Australia for under $300...

€250, wow! What did u end up getting then? We get worked with taxes on all imported specialist equipment here and I can get an aquaray 500 for £90- this is significantly cheaper than what I can get it for in Sydney.
And yes, have Irish blood in me from way back the line. Born and bred Australian though!
Look forward to seeing your setup!
