    as you should lol - the basic temperament doesn't change though so it probably won't be too painful :)

    So, I saw that I posted this almost a year ago and need to comment on it.

    I'm waaaaay too optimistic. Broken promises and lies was what I was getting. The shop that was "building" my controller never got it done. About 3 months ago I had enough, it was approaching almost a year. I kept hearing soon, soon, next week, then he's out sick and every other excuse there is. The shop is now closed (for good, it appears) and I have LED lights, but no way to adjust them, which is half of the reason I wanted them.
    I bought some 60º lenses and that helped focus the light down into the tank and I think it's made a difference.

    This experience just confirms that I don't have the money for radions and this guy wasn't the guy to build my leds. :cry:

    I'm just glad I didn't give him any more money. He was asking for half down on the controller before it was in my hands. Again, optimistic matty here had the money in his pocket headed to the store. Luckily, I never made it in and paid for what I have. I don't consider it a huge loss, I do have LED lights, but I paid a premium for what I do not consider premium work.

    that's a shame zesty. It really stinks when people don't follow-through on what they say they will. I sense you're like me, in that you give them the benefit of the doubt probably too long, but I still say I'd rather have the optimism point of view :) we do live and learn continually
