    While I'm happy for you, it kinda sucks for me I ordered my lights just a few days before you and I haven't received a tracking number :(

    My light should be here tomorrow, been waiting 2 months for this light!

    Right now it's just a FOWLR cause I have no light, just ambient light. Been waiting for this light so I can start a mixed reef tank!

    Well perhaps I don't feel so bad now lol, 2 months? That really sucks hopefully it will be worth the wait. Post some pics when you get it up and running.

    Won't have any pics since I can't install it until this weekend, schools starting this week.

    I played with it already and it's really bright, like a UFO in my room. I had someone hold it over the tank so I could get a quick look and change settings.

    Fans are super quiet but I'm not a fan of the red LEDs. Will have to play with it more.

    Well surprisingly enough I got my light in today :)

    Off the tank, turned on its super bright, blinding in fact

    To be honest though it doesn't cover my 75 as much as I hoped it would have, Logan said that it would cover a 75 just fine, the center of the tank looks great, the far left and far right sides on the other hand are not getting as much light as I thought they would.

    The shimmer on the other hand looks amazing and the fish (when they swim in the middle) look great too, the led's definitely give a natural look to the water

    Pictures will come soon hopefully

    Pics!!!! Haha. Yeah I'm glad I went with the 32" for my 40 breeder. It said the 24" would do, but I think the sides woulda been dim. Maybe you could change some optics on yours? Not sure if that would work.

    Photos Linked, Love the light so far, I have it just over 12 inches over my tank, I probably get get a better hanging set up to hook up in my eye bolts to rise and lower it but for now its good. The timer is a bit of a ***** to set up but once you get it it runs perfect able to control the intensity going up and down as the day goes on.
