Oops!

After 13 years of running Halide+T5 combos on this tank, I have finally entered the 21st century. Sorry Ken.















Using the CoralLabs AB+ template.





I seriously need to learn how to take pictures of LED lit tanks.

Thanks dave@concepts for hooking me up with these bad boys.

Thanks! Have only had them a day and I'm already loving them. Don't get me wrong, the halides were nice and got the job done, but the amount of flexibility in LED lights is astounding. I've been missing out! I love that I can dial in the exact colour rendition that I want. As it is, I tweaked the AB+ template to give me a more appealing (to me) colour cast. I also love that my temp doesn't swing anymore. The halides raised my tank temp a few degrees a day. It is never a problem in the fall/winter/spring months, but in the middle of summer it can be a huge issue. It HAS been a huge issue. Especially the last few years where we have had much warmer summers.

The future is so bright, I gotta wear shades. Seriously, I need to find those yellow/orange shades that I've seen people wearing to view their LED tanks. Also, I can't believe it took me this long to go LED. Now I kinda want to get a set of vortechs.
