    What type of tank inhabitants are you planning? They sure look bright!

    It's actually fully stocked. It's been up and running for almost 2 yrs.

    They are bright... however, they are fully adjustable with dimmers for each. I will obviously start very low and work my way up, probably won't ever even reach 1/2 capacity, but it's awesome!

    Here's what's in there...approx. 15lb rock, 2-3" sand bed. Inhabitants consist of a Perc Clown, Yellow Watchman Goby, tiny Pistol Shrimp, Pom Pom Crab, and Coral Banded Shrimp. Red & Blue Superman Mushrooms, True Blue Mushrooms, Toadstool, Hammer Coral, Clove Polyp, Green Star Polyp, Green Button Polyps, Orange Zoanthids, Tree Coral, and Pulsing Xenia.

    I'll work on it some more. I tried, but I can't capture the blue as it really is with my camera. I will post full tank with the whites only, or mixture in the near future. As for what kind of LEDs, I have no idea, whatever my LFS guy installed...

    I'm not sure what brand he used. Cost me $200



    This is the best pic I can get. The blue really throws off the photos, and this isn't the best either. One of those where a pic just can't do it justice.[​IMG]
