So when is the up grad to a 8'er or even 10'er :lol:

Probably when you do a 14' er. Then I'll take your 300;) I seriously have a lot more to learn before then.

Well that will never happen as the wife will not let me get a bigger tank now, this is it for the big tanks.

those look really neat with the illuminated acrylic bezel. does that edge just glow? I imagine it's not blindingly bright in the eyes or anything.

Not bright at all. The Atlantik lights really pound the rays down but because they are pendants and the tank is canopy challenged the room is well lit...which I actually really like. The bezel is really the optic focus just in a sheet form. It is 90 degree but can be removed for 120 degree. So far I am extremely pleased with them. I'm considering ordering a third for a couple of things I want to try.

wow, that looks really good!

That is an awesome looking setup! Great work! I must say, your tank is an inspiration for me as I've been wanting a 180 for a while now!

Have you noticed any difference in coral growth with the new lights?

brotherd 12-28-2013 09:14 PM

For sure. Water changes were not keeping up with calcium demand so I brought the calcium reactor online.The new lights are great!

And thanks for the kind words too!
