Yahoo looking great! Might I say...top shelf?
I loved your corals in the old 90 so I can't wait to see what you do here. Where are you buying 80w bulbs from? Nice touch with the added moonlights too.

Yeah I loved the colors of the ATI bulbs but you could pick that GE out of the mix if you weren't squinting so hard your eyes were shut. Great for greens and yellows.
ReefGeek packs their bulbs bomb-proof. I was super impressed. What's your bulb layout look like? Damn I just noticed you still have the other fixture. Talk about PIMPIN'!

Yeah, Reef Geek does pack the tubes extremely well. I was a bit worried since they had so far to travel but I don't think the bulbs would have broke even if UPS had rolled their truck.
As for a bulb combo, I went with 6 ATI Blue Plus, 3 ATI Aquablue specials, 1 GE 6500K Daylight, and 2 KZ Fiji purples. When all the tubes are on, the tank has an ~14K look to it so I'm much more pleased with this than my 8 bulb fixture tube choice which gave me more of a 10K look. I also just sold the 8 bulb Stealth yesterday. Now there are 2 of us in Regina in the Italian Lighting club. Not the best pic but you get the idea  Also made some progress on getting my electrical cord holes cut in the eurobracing. 1 down, 3 to go. Hole saw jig I made out of acrylic. Keeps the bit centered and acts as a damn to hold water around the bit.  All finished up with the uniseal installed. I ended up with a few minor chips on the bottom side but I'm not worried since its only the eurobracing and you won't be able to see them once I have the trim installed around the top of the tank.

Nice touch with the uniseals.
Yeah that combo is darn near exactly what I was running but I used 2 procolors instead. I never had coral in there but to my eyes it sure looked like ANYTHING would have looked very nice under it.

Great job on the build so far! Looking forward to seeing the light in action once the tank is stocked.

I like the build so far. Looks very simular to what I'd like to do. I even have the same lights, the most prize piece that I've aquired thus far. I really like the schedule 80 so much better than the 40, to bad its so pricey. Great work so far
