Final assembly is now complete. All optics are on everything except the red & green, acrylic covers are cut & in ( hard to see ) & everything is all wired up as neat as possible for the temporary hood. Going to tackle the task of getting it on the tank this weekend & then the fun begins trying to get the Profilux programming figured out.
