    Appreciate the post. I am always looking to learn more about LEDs, and the hobby in general and this was a good read. Thanks for posting.

    I just read that article along with the Reef Central thread and LinkedIN. Not sure what to say. [Mike Maddox's position to the company and blog] is dsappointing, I guess. Hoping to hear something about this directly form Orphek.

    I too wouldn't mind hearing a response from Orphek.

    That is a very interesting read Xmetal. Thanks for sharing, I love the Radion article. I think the exact line is "Your Cyano Will Love It!!!"

    Hey, the comment made me laugh....

    I think it will be interesting to see what they have to say about a number of things. There are definitely some low blows going around. I think it's a sign that we're starting to get some real competition in the LED markets. It will be interesting to see how things play out.

    Don't believe everything you read. Especially when it's coming from one individual. There's much more to this story than the Mike Maddox articles. That's all I have to say about that.

    This was brought to my attention by another 3reef member, but was afraid to post since Orphek is a sponsor. However, I feel that this is a good way to find out what other people's thoughts are.

    I do not want this thread to turn in to a flame war or company bash. I just want to know what others think and maybe hear what Orphek has to say.
