It's actually Addicted2Fish who are the distributors. http://www.addicted2fish.com.au
Just Kessil, New Era and CycloPEeze.
So the day had finally arrived and my kessil is here!! So happy to finally have it, I ripped it open and set it up is evening, I can't help but be slightly disappointed so far. Maybe my expectations were huge and it lives up to many of them - build quality is impeccable, light output is amazing and I love the colours and the shimmer, and the controller is pretty neat and easy to use.
However ... Two things are letting it down a little.
- one is the fact that the controller needs to stay connected. I kinda knew this was the case, but I couldn't help trying out setting the program and then disconnecting, expecting the light unit to have some kind of on board memory. As long as I can make the cables tidy/hidden not a huge deal I guess.
- the second however has surprised me and is a bigger deal. The fan is noisy. I mean it is a low hum but it's louder than my return pump I had complained about recently. I had assumed they would be silent or close to silent. Reading others experiences I can't help but wonder whether mine is faulty somehow. One person had 3 units and claimed one was indeed silent, one had a very low noise and the third wad quite noisy. Kessil apparently replaced the noisy one and it ended up like the second unit, with a low noise level. Its odd that 'silent' is possible. I am tempted to take it apart to see if I can fix it myself but don't want to invalidate warranties etc. might see how it goes for a day or two and then contact AoA to get their opinion.
Yay and boo at the same time.
