    Thanks all!

    The fixtures were $279/ea, through Barrier Reef Aquariums, which I recommend. They're the standard 12 LED fixures, but the 2nd gen ones with the timers. I was worried about coverage, but it does just fine. I may even swap some of the lenses to the 60 degree ones for more punch. I'm working on getting a hold of a PAR meter and will post results once I do.

    yeah, I have the 1st gen the ones withought timer. I really like it, but thing that annoys me the most is when my 2nd fixture does not read the command while my other one does. Then thats when I need to do all the mumbo jumbo to get it back together at the same mode again.

    I wish there was something to do for this type of trouble.

    I really like the 2nd gen, ones with timer :)

    Yeah, I've tried playing with the color adjustment and it just drives me crazy. Luckily, when you set the timers, they both just go to blue only, so it's pretty easy. I don't think I'd want to mess with that. I have had "some" luck by touching the fixutre with the remote and using the remote directly under each fixture.
