    Well it all depends what you think expensive is. Check out Rapids site, everything on there is priced competitively.

    thank you for your intricate detail on your Rapid LED install. i was running Panorama Pro LED's in my 29BC but after seeing your video i ordered and installed Rapid's. WOW, what a difference! running mine with an apex jr and loving it.

    Your welcome, I'm happy to see other people going the Rapid way. Make sure to check out my tank build thread. I just recently installed the Apex Full with dosing pumps and upgraded my ATO.

    Enjoy your lights ;)

    You have done an excellent job on both builds. Very well planned, definitely organized and planned out. I don't know how you got all that equipment in there but you made it work. Job well done.

    Thanks ReefBrush, crazy enough I still have plenty of room for a reactor. ;)

    Perhaps that will be my next addition, we shall see.

    Are you running your lights 100%? Mine are at 50% and feel they are plenty bright.

    No worries.
    I needed two to control each driver to simulate Sunrise/Set. The rapid controllers will only control one driver.
