Default New Vertex LD Illumilux in my 6g jbj

Just picked up a new Vertex to replace the Nanotuners 2.18 PC lights on my tank. Holy cow, what a difference! My pictures are not the best as they were done with my phone, but you'll get the idea. I'll dig out my camera and post some better ones as soon as I get my corals next week. Biggest differences; much brighter than 2X18w PC's, better blues, more shimmer and better distribution of light. J&L doesn't have the mounting brackets for them yet, so i just removed the stock lid and velcro'd them on so they don't get bumped. No more fan noise, bye bye algae and bulb changes! Now to just figure out what i want for Corals!
