    Hmmm. System never told me I had posts on here, very odd. Sorry for the delay. Looks great! Thanks for the pics. How long getting those results under these lights?

    Thanks for the share. Looking great especially with just 4 of them. How did you mount them?

    Yeah I was wondering the same, also how high above the water are they.
    I have a 75 and I am currently using T5's but really want to go with the LED's
    becasue of several reasons, mostly the electrical savings, but heat and longevity
    of the bulbs is also a factor.

    Nice growth, Nismo400. How long have you had your bulbs?

    i built up on my canopy with some 2 x 4 and attached some home depot clamp lights for the bulbs which are about 7 inches off the water

    Thanks. Think it's been a month and a half now. Never saw the blue in my birdsnest polyps until a couple weeks after adding the bulbs! I'm sure they'll continue to progressively get better.

    Thanks CJ. Yours are coming along nicely as well.

    I can also attest to the functionality of the BoostLEDs - I have had 2 (3RB/2CW - 60degree optics) on a 30 gallon cube - and WOW - everything is happy and the color rendering is beautiful!!!!

    I would recommend these to about anyone in about any situation!

    Just wanted to update some nice growth I've been noticing in my birdsnest frag lately. The pic from a few posts prior is only about two weeks ago.

    Also that encrusting Monti I have is beginning to turn blue! The pics from my iPhone are really hindered by the blue in the bulb. I moved the frag slightly so that it wasn't sideways and portions of it shadowed. It's about 13 inches away from my 3B 2W bulb. I'm stoked!!!
