Default 29G LED Upgrade with Ecoxotic Panorama Pros

Great little overview of the Panorama Pro LED modules and what they are capable of:

So got my Ecoxotic Panorama Pro Modules in the mail yesterday and Couldn't wait to get home to install them. After a good 45 min (Took my time to do a clean job) I was done WOW is all i gotta say. Tank look so much nicer, still gotta get use to the shimmer, getting maybe a little too much shimmer but I will play with that later.
Also thinking I need some more Muhahahhah Might end up picking up another pro and a stunner strip to complete my setup.

Ok here are some pics showing what I did, enjoy:

Before:









Step 1: Gut out all un necessary wires, I decided to keep the one transformer from the stock hood to run the fan.





Step 2: Place LED modules in desired place and mark holes



Step 3: Drill holes for the Module



Step 4: Using washers I made a spacer for the mounts so that air can circulate underneath the module.




Step 5: Mount remaining Modules





Step 6: Running the wires through existing holes of original transformer line






Step 7: Place protective lens back onto hood.




and


Enjoy




Although as all of you know the picture does not do it justice, and all my corals where sleeping when I put the lights back on since they where in the dark for awhile.
