When I had mine over my 180 I felt the same way but since I started my new tank im happy so far. Before I was using my own project with not much success but the new project I'm trying out seems like corals are growing and happy. I'm using Aarons project from profilux owners.

You can find his build thread on a few forums.

I added T5's to my Mitras and never looked back. Been really happy with the retrofit assembly. When I get home I could email you my program for the Mitras part. PM me your email address.

Thanks for sharing, lol if I ever wanted to try that I'd have to build a floating canopy.

Aluminum and pop riveter made short work of it. It would be easy to clean it up and hide all of the wiring if people actually see it. But mine's hidden so no need to do all that.
