    Id do it for you, but the shipping could be really PITA. The optic lens is really fragile, since they are just glued on. Heavy and long, thats usually costly as well..

    Its not that hard to do really, in spite of the intimidating appearance , just time consuming.

    But it can be done a lot less than you would spend on manufactured light fixtures.

    Thanks it was a bit of trial and error..but trust me you got skillz just look at your tank it looks insane..as of the RKL no not yet. I would need to get another module and then have to do a firmware update,but can't because they are not MAC friendly..but for now using Rapids dimming pots.

    Im LOOKING at Apex Lite and our household is Apple dominated as well. (I usually on Macbook Pro, there is a 27" iMac, among other i-Things). Luckily there is an old PC, so Im not really worried about the FW updates and whatnot.
