    Looks great! I love my one spot, he is the mediator in the tank. He does not allow fighting in the tank and will be the first to break up any if they occur.

    Boy with a new toy! I love it, I had the Solarmax T-5s before, my ballast blew on my blue lights, got a new one and still didn't fix the problem, got so frustrated with it that I just said screw it and spent the money to get the LEDs. Money well spent.

    Next on the list is upgrade the pumps, I have two cheap Ebay powerheads putting 1,600 GPH but their only held up by cups and not mags. I would love to get two MP10s but lets see if the money allows. I've been trying to get rid of my 14 Gallon biocube so help rise some funds but seems like no one wants it.

    Anyone able to ID that Green Hairy SPS in the photos? Also how often do you feed your Acans, its only a single head but it seems to allows have its feeders out looking for more food. Gave it a bunch of mysis last night and its like moreeeeee

    Yea he never fights with anyone but when someone is stirring trouble he's the first to put them in their place when he flares out those spikes. Its usually someone getting too close to the clowns cave area.

    I like the fixture but the edges are so dark. Which optics did you get? Do you think different optics would make a difference. I'm thinking of putting this on my 120 but I'm starting to think it wouldn't be enough to cover the entire tank, regardless of what the retailer says.

    edge only appear dark because I have the percentage down low when I took those photos. I was only running at 15% on each channel when I took those photos, and had it on 10% blues when I took the blues photos. When I have the lights at 40% where there at most of the day everything is golden. I'm using the 90 degree optics.

    I'm wondering if I should go with 120 degree optics.
