Hey Todd - Thanks for the note. I'm really encouraged by your success with these lights. Your pictures are amazing. It's way too early for me to really have much of an opinion as my tank is doing all kinds of strange things. As you know, I'm not completely convinced that this light is going to do what I want it too, but I am in the camp that believes in LED technology and I am cautiously optimistic. No question that the Illumina is an engineering marvel. If it works it will change the hobby.

You will have to keep us informed on your lighting route, like yourself, I am not completely confident on the LED fixtures. Alot are showing up on the market, and I have not seen a lot of tank have complete success....yet. There are a few on RC that are claiming to have great outcomes, so who knows, I am still a couple months off committing to one or the other, but I do have something in mind. At any rate, tank looks good.

Hi Bob - I had good success with my DSB in my 90G tank. I've had less success with my Shallow Sand Bed in my new tank. I think the trick is to get it heavily populated with sand sifting critters; although this is somewhat easier said than done. As far as lifting the rock goes, that has worked really well for me. If you haven't seen how I did this on my 90G tank, there's some pictures
here.
I really want the LED lighting to be a winner. I will keep you updated.

Thanks Denny - I really like the video you posted of the glass cutting. I was surprised by the low salinity of seawater where you are.
