Lightbulb It's here!

Well, the fixture has finally arrived! So far, it looks very nice & the features are easy to utilize. I've just about finished the black-foam aquascape & it looks fantastic. I can't wait to get water in the tank! pic's to come on my days off.

I'm afraid not, I was just running a bank of 96w PC's prior, but I've sold them off. What I can tell you is the Led's certainly have the intensity & brightness that I've seen on many MH fixtures (visual impression at least), just NO heat! I'm looking forward to trying out different corals under them. My set-up will be primarily LPS, Softies (all types) & clams. I will try a Monti cap & some digitata once the tank has matured & I've upgraded the skimmer & the flow. Maybe a green slimer or something too, we'll have to see.

Awesome! The background looks like guts, but I like it.

The pic's don't do it justice. The display does not seem so insanely blue in person, I need to play with my camera I think. The foam came out a nice matte black & hides the overflow nicely. I'v added lots of ledges withe the hopes of mounting encrusting frags later. This seems to be something that you just gotta see in person. it looks absolutely sick!

Nice, but it seems very blue. Is that just the camera?
