The pictures don't do the lights justice as they are super bright. My eyes are still bugging me from looking at it.
There is a space in the centre on the bars closest to the bottom where there are no LED's. This is where my overflow is located, so no lights were needed. I didn't put any lenses on the red or green LED's as I just wanted to spread out their color. They are on a line with 2 blue LED boards that is non-dimmable.
I need 12 more extension connectors, and then this is ready to go on the tank. I wasn't sure how many extensions I was going to need, and got way too few.
The white base boards are on the canopy as I am putting a piece of acrylic that will sit on them to prevent any water from hitting the LED's and drivers.

All for the cost of less than one Radion.

WOW that is sick lighting for a whole tank for less then one fixture that would do half the tank. Can you do sunrise, sunset (lights start up from one side and move to the other while getting brighter throughout the day)? Thats the only feature I really want, thunderstorms would be cool but not needed. great job on a nice light fixture and reef tank

I have 3 timers that I was using on for my current fixture that I will hook each line into. The blue/red/green line will come on first, followed by the blue line, followed by the white line to simulate sunrise. Sunset will work in the opposite order. I can get a controller to run this system if I want to make it fancy.

I forgot to mention, I have 4 fans that will sit on top of the channels that I had used to cool my tank due to the MH's.

Thank you to Martin for all of your help on this. Once I get my extensions, I will post pictures of the finished product on the tank.
