    What size is your tank? Maybe I missed it! Haha Loving the lights. Definitely going to go with 2 for my 40 Breeder! I was just about to post a thread asking for PR-25 pictures and setups as well. Going to go with track lighting for sure and build like a "floating" canopy to match the stand that hasn't been started. Haha

    Keep posing updates on the lights to keep me interested in keeping my mind set on them.

    I don't think he mentioned it in ths threased, but Bobos tank is a 55 gallon.

    I saw your post on Orphek's thread and I think 2 pr25s would be great over a 40B mixed reef.

    Awesome! Haha Maybe selling that JBJ will go towards a bulb so I can mess around with it on my 10 gallon. Finally got an email and now just waiting for when they can come get it.

    Gotta wait for the stand first! ::) I think that is where some of the money will go to. Haha Are there any controllers these bulbs can be used with?

    ...used directly with the bulbs? I don't beleive so. But I bet you could get a dimmable pendant/track light to install the bulbs into, which might be able to be controlled from a controller. The pendant/track fixture must say it is dimmable though, otherwise dimming won't work on these bulbs (or any dimmable bulb).

    Well they can wait then! Building a stand shouldn't cost too much if I keep it simple

    thanks for answerin the Q's for me Seano haha I was at work all night then hit the gym haha :D but yeah I do have a 55G tank and I think you can use a controller with them, thats something you would have to ask Orphek, I currently only have 2 pr-25's over the 55 and it lights it up very well :) of course the ml-7 and the boost led I have on add some great color as well :D... oh and duoc9119 haha I understand the necesity of a new stand :p I need one badly!!!!

    Haha yeah I need to get to it but doesn't look like I can start anytime soon. Loans isn't going through fast enough, so I am going to have to pay ~$3000. You figure doing loans online will be instant, not a month.
