Upgrading LEDs from AI to Kessils

The dream tank has been on the road of stability for the last year or so and “bang”, we got up and the lights we on and I mean ON! The controller for the AI lights was out and the LED’s were on the auto program mode and stuck. We contacted AI and well the industry has moved on so that the Vega controller isn’t really replaceable lol. So since we had a already used Kessils, out went the AI and in came the Kessils. Enjoy the video on it everyone.
