    Looks great.....IMO I would want a bit more intinsity on the Royal Blue...

    also coraline does not like tons of light....My new 90 would not grow on the back and I moved the lights forward a little and now it is starting to grow on the back....I know it grows on rock in full light.....maybe it is expanding and on the glass it has to start from scratch?

    Thanks PierceEye!
    Looks a tad more blueish in person than the pic. The thing is Im trying to acclimate the corals to these powerful LEDs at the moment. So dimmable channels are all at the lowest now. Even tho I used more colors than the regular Royal Blues and Cool Whites, I can see the added colors in the blend of the light and I LOVE IT. (Sorry it's really hard to explain and of course its impossible to show with a picture. )

    As for the coralline, it sure looks like starting from the scratch! Some of them is just peeling off of the wall. I dont know if you can see the difference between the old pic and recent one, there is greenish and other growing coralline present. Hopefully this light upgrade boosts the growth of it.

    Wow man, love the new light! Thats the kind of inspiration I need to get mine sorted out. Will def go through the build thread when I get a spare min.
    How are your alk/ca levels? Have you been dosing anything? I started adding a little bit when my coralline dropped off a bit and it seemed to pick up again. Remember reading that a tank full of purple will drain those pretty quickly. I havent done proper tests to work out my weekly usage yet, have just been dosing slightly less than the recommendations on the bottles for now. Will be testing properly soon tho!

    Yo Chappy, thanks!

    I posted different light setting FTSs, so you might wanna check it out the LED build thread 8) I really dont have to dose anything at the moment, its usually stable around 7~8dKH. When it gets low side, I use BRS 2part alk.

    Looking gooood bro!! It took me fairly a long time to drill 5 holes, I even ran out of battery on the drill! I was holding the drill bending over my back started to hurt.

    So it's success? :)
