Keep looking...plus LED will give you your shimmer.

We're definitely going to do a DIY LED fixture if we go that route (and I think I am). After having lived with LED shimmer for awhile I think I do like it. Its a bit different from MH, but nothing significant enough.

Any recommendatinos on some?
I got a box on my doorstep last night; more LEDs, plumbing parts, and some RO/DI replacements. Now I'm onto ordering rock and sand from Eco-Reefer. I'm so pleased by their products and their prices.
I think my UPS and Canada Post guys deserve some big heavy bottles of good liquor as thanks for hauling many big and heavy boxes to my front door.
Perhaps the sand shall wait another cheque....I feel silly saying I spent all my fun money on rocks and sand.
You will need approximately 473 pounds of sand
to achieve a 2 inch depth in a 126 x 36 inch tank
assuming the sand weighs 90 pounds per cubic foot.
