    The lights already made it here! They look amazing, very fine details and very well made. Drilled, tapped and glued with excellent wire management. I'm extremely impressed! Thanks a lot to reefbreeders.com !

    I got it up over my tank and hooked up and ran into a snag. The lights are working fine when unplugged from my VDM module on my apex but not when it is plugged in.. I'm sure it's something silly I have done.. I tried a simple program on the the dimming ports that was a ramp profile of 0 min and 80 and 80. I'm going to try to make it last a minute and maybe that will fix it.. anyhow, here are the pics I took so far and the light on full while my AIs ramp up for the day.

    Looks good. What are the supplemental LED colors you added?

    I'll post some when the AI come fully on. I really like it so far. Looks very rich but not overpowering...

    Hard to tell because I screwed up one of the com ports on my AI and so I'm not getting proper dimming from 2 of them. I'm sure they will send me a new board immediately. Just a pain in the meantime.

    They are both project boxes he used to hide the wiring and drivers. I'm not really sure why there are 2.. I just Velcro them together and hid them, lol

    Red, Green, Royal Blue, and Violet. And I did 3 of the units so 9 of each.

    Very nice can't wait for the shots of the tank with the lights fully on. I am looking to go LED in the future for the rich color they produce.
