    That is definetly a Monti. Nice work greg ! So is that green slimmer holding its color under your pcs' pretty good ? Can you post a pic of your light fixture? What fixture are you using to get 72 watts that is that small?

    I'm using my stock lighting out of my nanocube dx I took down 48watts. Then I ordered a retro kit from nanotuners to add another 24 watts.. The slimer is holding its color perfectly. Looks as good as when I first got it...
