I've been running metal halides for the last 2 years, but recently purchased a Nanocustoms 5.6 LED kit. I'm on the fence about how I like the look and color.

Lucky for me I have two nanocube hoods, so I'm going to retrofit one with LED, and the other with 1 x 150w MH and 2 x 18w PC. I really enjoy the color from a 14k Phoenix.

interesting idea with the LED's. I am also on the fence about LED's, due to the lack of personal experience and the lack of other people's input on thier personal experiences with them. So I would like to know more of what the LED's end up doing for you once you get to that point.

As of yesterday morning water and rock have been added

Will post some pictures this evening. The rock work turned out pretty damn killer!

Turning out to be a nice little set-up. Looking forward for the pics on the rock work. Be interesting to see the difference between the 2 light combos.

"Enter the Dragon"







Would have to say it's about 35-40 pounds, 4 different rocks, stuck together with acrylic rods, epoxy, and black uv zip ties. I think it's going to need a lot more epoxy before I sleep well at night Had lots of fun playing around with the rock!

Going to have to try and make a video once there is sand and other things in the tank. Pictures really don't do this rock justice. I've been 'cooking' it in the dark for almost a year now.. but I saw a few pod creatures last night.

Lighting is stock cf quad, until livestock from my other tank moves in
