To be honest, I'm finding them to be quite a pain in the butt to program via my PC. Compared to the Ecotech anyways. Once I get that figured out I should be happier with it.

The light spread is actually what sold me on it. I tested out a Radion and found that I was going to need 2 to get the coverage I wanted on the tank.

Hoping to weld up a light rack for it this weekend.

What sort of explaining am I suppose to do?

As for pics, I'll get some up after I get it hanging over the tank.

Once you get the hang of the light composer you'll like the program, probably not as simple as ecotech but it does a lot more in the end.

I hope it runs smooth. I may still add a dosing pump to the setup down the road, but that's about it. I've put so much into the build I got nothing left for livestock..

I actually got my light rack welded up here at the office yesterday after work. Just need to get a couple coats of black paint on it and pick up was rubber weather stripping so it does slide around and scratch the euro-bracing.

My main issue so far has been that no matter what I tell it to do at night at 9 or 10pm (ie. all leds off) at 12:09am the HV come back on for the night until the first stage of the program starts in the morning. So basically, I can't get them to turn off at night except for 2 hours between 10pm and 12:09am.

I'll play around with it more tonight and see what happens.
