    Nope, havent got that far yet. I've been working on a cabinet to house all of my equipment so I havent been working on the light yet. That and I'm trying to figure out the best layout of leds on my heatsink. Me and my uncle are getting too technical with it in cad, but its kinda interesting.

    i saw on another forum that someone mounted them like the AI Sol. with groups of 3 leds. then he had a peice of white acrylic cut to fit with the holes drilled out for the leds. looked crazy good.

    I actually thought about that, but its just not good for coverage. I'm trying to get the most even coverage without having hotspots.

    Yeah I had a little trouble with placement. I just ordered another 12 LEDs too lol, so mine is on hold til they come in. Been busy all day with modding my biopelet reactor, and a DIY ATO. Going away for the deer hunt so I ned to get as much as I can automated on the tank before I leave. I know that the wife can't remember to top off lol.

    I decided I can finally "officially" join the unofficial club since I have atleast something in my tank now, so here's my FTS, lol

    [​IMG]

    That was the first rock scape that kind of just happened as I was putting rocks in, I've already moved a few and would like to add some more rocks on top for some more height possibly..

    Here's what I'm going to be running

    Sump: Aqueon Pro-Flex 3
    Protein Skimmer: SC150 Cone Skimmer (read some great reviews about it, interested to see how it performs.)
    Return Pump: Danner Mag 7
    Overflow Box: Eshopps Overflow Box PF-800
    Lighting: 2 AquaIllumination Sols (on their way, hopefully will be in next week)
    Rock: 37 Lbs Marco dead rock; getting about 40ish more lbs of live rock
    Sand: about 70lbs of live sand, not sure how much we'll use, we want about 2-3 inches depth
