    The Vertex Illumina is like my dream light to have. You can simulate the sun, moon and even weather.

    I have a 72 gallon bowfront n I really want an led strip light that I can turn on at night n just watch my corals pop... I have a Chinese made strip right now with 1/2 watt LEDs totaling 18 watts n it works n reveals the floursence in the corals but I want something stronger n brighter
