i think blue world in Vic also has them on their site.. looks like an awesome fixture.

IMO the lightning effect only looks good on larger reefs because you can stagger it. anything below 3' i don't think you would get the same WOW factor.

$4259.99 is lots of money. Hope someone from canreef will buy it and posta review. Kien do you see this?

its nice but really how beneficial is this? i mean spending a couple extra g's just so you can have the lightning effect? if you have that kind of $ then yeah it would be pretty cool but how often would you run it

Certainly a novelty thing... kinda cool nonetheless!

I saw a lightening storm over at TomR's tank a couple years ago.
Profilux system if i remember right, and he had 2 specialty lights mounted over his tank to accomplish this.

Whats cool about this is the all in one aspect of it.

Looks flashy (sorry for the pun) but it's not hard to do. Especially on a larger fixture where banks of LEDS are driven by separate driver circuits. Just flash each circuit in order down the tank and you have simulated lightning. The programming should be very simple once you already have a controller in the system.

To me it's more a gimmick. I doubt it has any benefit to the livestock and may actually startle and stress fish. Personally I would never use it.

Maybe someday we'll get simulated rainfall in the form of a water change/dosing for our tanks too....

After all, the only thing i like about it is saving energy
