    yay!
    my 70w metal halide pendant from fishneedit.com came in
    I'm so pumped! lol ;D
    they look so much better that my pc's and you got to love the shimmer.

    alright here it is in the box

    love the shimmer can't really see it in the photo though
    i have them on the mounting legs right now but I'm probably going to hang the lights.
    moved all the corals down to light acclimate
    its a lot brighter in real life (and there is a little more blue)

    :drool: :drool:

    mmmmm. bubble wrap! used to love to pop those to as a kid! nice light! you might need a little fan blowing on it that close to the water.. check your water temps during the day, just to be safe.

    Nice buy Jake.

    your light came in today and its sleek looking, compact and cool.
    my light came in today and its chunky, clunky and ugly.

    your light came in today and your enjoying a nice shimmer tonight.
    my light came in today, it blew up and now i have to write an email tonight.

    you got bubble wrap.
    i got polystyrene.

    :cry:

    u happy.
    me sad.
