    The details are scarce but Dymax is starting to leak pics of their new pico - the Dymax IQ5. It appears little has changed to the popular aquarium itself since the IQ3 with its nice integrated wet/dry filter, overflow and great styling.

    The noticable difference between the two is the LED light has been beefed up from 28 LEDS to 43 in a slightly larger fixture with separate controls for the blue/whites. Whether that satisfies the reef crowd remains to be seen. Personally I just put my IQ3 on my desk at work and will probably put a PAR30 LED spot on it, be done with it and enjoy this great pico.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I really want one! A ricordia garden and some sexy shrimp or a fire shrimp would look very nice. Would love to see if anyone is doing any sps under those LED's. It's a nice clean looking system.

    This is a very appealing setup. Just posted elsewhere on this forum couple days back if anyone knew release dates, it must be hitting North America and Europe real soon, fingers crossed.

    Dymax would be doing themselves a favor it they would release specs on those lights.

    Love the look!
