    i asked growing on floor not on racks up high, as i run a 4 foot fixture on a 5 foot tank with good par readings through out the tank. no im not shopping around if i switch soon it would be the radion pros(when released). i wouldnt do diy, i can turn on and off my lights now, i would like being able to ramp up and down automatically and for them to communicate with my vortechs. i dont like the look of heatsinks my tank will always be open top and need a clean finished look of a fixture.as it stands ill be going with the lumen bright fixture by coralvue.

    i also asked for pics?

    Everyone has a different taste. I have allways used lights in canopies, including T5s and MHs. I dont have a lot of moola so I diy. Also, I have cats in the house so I use the canopy look.
    I turn my lights down because they are to bright. I also need a good camera. This old phone camera is ugly. lol
    Because I have control over a single LED I can put that LED light anywhere.

    I would like to add that I realize your covering 5ft. I have to cover 14 feet of light. And diy LED is for sure the way to go. I have more than 3x the amount of light coverage
    that I have to be concerned with especially if you consider a 7ft sump and a 4ft sump.

    I have posted full tank shots. I do have a tricolor that is sitting a little more than half way down on the back.

    Not doubting you or your lights. The LEDs work for me. I do like the look of them, especially the new Vegas. Clean look. The ghl Mitras look absolutely stunning and the orphek fixtures are nice as well.

    If I did doubt you I wouldn't have gone in on those frags we ordered.

    Tony, you are more than welcome to come over and check it out;)

    I really like my LED light that I have on my 20 gal. and it's done some nice things to my tank. I'm not completely a hater on LEDs, but I don't see use going LED on the big tank any time soon...if ever.
