Thank you Biff, knew I could count on you!! Will check into different LEDs, hard to find in my area. AI and Vertex I can get within a 100 miles of stores that carry them. More pics soon plumbing is done!

I hope I don't sound too pretentious by saying this but if you ever come to NYC I could set up a list of stores/friend's houses you can visit that will cover almost all the brands/models of LEDs out there. It's so hard to choose lighting from a site or catalog.

Thank you! These particular LED lights have a patent on them from NASA, as I understand it. That is why they can not be sold in the US. Doesn't mean you can't buy them from a Canadian distributor and have them shipped. The store I bought them from does ship to the US. Can't wait to get them up and running. Two weeks!!

Well they look amazing! LEDs have come so far in just a few years. I can't wait to see what's available when I set up my next big tank.

Yes, definitely some amazing things on that unit, but I'd think twice about subjecting my tank raised fish to that last epileptic mode lol.

They have one up from the 200 series that uses 3 watt led lights. The store owner said the corals were getting burned from the intense light. They had to turn them down to not kill them. That is strong lighting in my opinion.

So here are the next set of pics. Plumbing is done, R/O water is ready to go in. Chose black substrate for the tank this time. Lights are not here yet, but the arm is up and waiting for me to make a finishing bracket at work out of stainless. Any comments or suggestions on my set up are more than welcome...

It is on the back wall opposite the television, I find with the biocube I spend more time looking at the tank than watching the movies, LOL..
