Really nice looking tank. I am looking into getting a similar light fixture. Does it put off any heat?

Thanks

Ben

Thanks!!

No heat, or to be clear - little heat. No chiller necessary.

I am really pleased with the lights and corals glow like you would not believe under the Blue LED's.....cannot get good picks because they just wash out in blue. It is awesome to see....

Thanks again!

So, I have been messing with my camera to get accurate representation of the corals under the Blue LED'S......Finally figured it out. Now I just need a Macro Lense! Never ends....

Testing, Testing, 1,2,3......

Temporary setup for the new Bubble Magus Dosing Unit before I tuck it all away behind the tank. I figured I would run it for a couple of weeks and monitor operations to make sure it operates as planned. Tank is still pretty new, so now I will sit back and watch everything grow for a while.....will post a FTS and some decent pics in a month or two. I am hopeful the coraline will cover the back glass soon as it is nearly covered the overflow.

Thanks! Loving the LED's. Growth and color are good. I need to figure out how to get some good pics.

how happy are you with your lighting at this point? would you have gone with more or less? im looking to set up a slightly smaller cube (oceanic 33) and would like to do a 16-24 led DIY pendant over it. im trying to gauge how many to do. also, are you dimming your with your controller or just running it at 100% ?

thanks
