I'll take that under advisement I suppose I'll get used to it, but when you first see it, it's like "what's wrong with your tank??" lol

Ok, three more lights added, and I'm happy with it so far. I only got a brief glimpse of the full group on at 80% while playing with the programming, but very happy with the coverage. And with 6, I may even keep them below 100 for a few days
I'll post some pics as soon as I can get time, see what the color looks like to the camera.

Ya, me too

It's 5am, and even the moonlight coverage is better, so I think this should work out fine.
Now I'm just hoping my rail system can hold 40 pounds of light

I'm self sufficient. I removed the kidney and will eat that until I pay the lights off
