Don't do it. I viewed one on display at my LFS and it looked great for the first week, then everything browned out. Not worth the money IMO.

I got one love it great growth and good colouring but its only in 10" of water.

You have your light in 10" of water lol. Must be interesting! Do you have it programed for sun rise /set etc?

I just hung a 5ft Illumina 260 on a customers tank were building and this is by far one of the nicest light systems i have been able to deal with. we have set the lighting up just as a show piece :)

cloud cover is a neat feature, however, to add either of those two features, you need the V-link USB dongle, and add from a PC.

Below are a couple of in progress photos . These were taken with an iPhone, so mind the quality :)

oh, and the light has been set to max out at %65 on all three LED colors.

Are there any mounting legs packaged with the fixture?
