    So my LED's came in this morning...spent most of this evening putting the kit together. Really nice kit, sent me extra LED's, and the best part...they look BA! It's impossible to get a pic of it with my phone, but my brother took tons with his iPhone. I was planning to build a canopy, but now...not so much, I LOVE the shimmer I'm getting.

    Thanks guys, but I doubt I will. I honestly want him to sell it to help fund hid new tank build. Plus, I'm pretty happy with my 20 right now!

    Looks great!!! I'm running LEDS on my FW and I love the shimmer. My mom thinks it'll give the fish a stroke!

    I'll only use LED's from here on out on any tank I do.

    The ocean shimmers too...maybe not so much but meh, I like it! I cannot wait to go diving in the keys this summer :)

    Yeah it gives it a natural feel.

    Have fun!!! I went diving in the great barrier reef this past summer. It's about 95% of the reason I wanted to start a reef tank:) its so overwhelming all the colors in one place!!

    oh man! great job with the LED's they look sweet. I still haven't seen any in person I need to find a set up somewhere. Then again maybe it's a good thing b/c I'm sure it would make me even more envious :p

    Oh man that is one good looking man working the iron! The LEDs look great.
    Regarding the 125.... You know you wouldn't be happy with that one either. You know how it is, you want what you want and won't be happy with anything else.
    Oh and a second thought look how popular this thread is getting, I want a successful thread!
