A quick update........

WOW........These Aqua Illumination LED lights are powerful. The lights were suspended 14 inches above our 230 gallon and still managed to bleach a few corals. Most recovered, but lost a huge Orange Monti Cap. The other corals are growing like weeds under these LED lights.

Still waiting for the GHL Profilux Interface Cables, but should be here this week. I can't wait to run some juice through those babies.

As for PAR Readings....that will happen shortly. Our APOGEE Quantum meter is here, but now I just need to slowly drop the AI LED Fixtures closer to the water column before shooting some accurate readings for you.

One last remark....The Aqua Illumination LED's are simply amazing....or did I already mention that?

Stay tuned as we light up our display tank's life!!!

Don't be fooled by the 3-5 watts per gallon thinking. PAR and intensity are much more important values. You will require either combination of LED Modules:

36" Long Aquarium
3 x Module LED System

48" Long Aquarium
4 x Module LED System

Thanks
