What you see in the photos is not true colour. Me and the camera are having some arguments with trying to take pictures of the deep blue. In person those are a stunning deep blue. For the 6 lights on the blue dimmer per circle I have 3x450, 2x440, 1x420. In person only the 420 looks purpleish.

I feel the Nova a8 works great with the center brace on my tank. I dont notice any shadowing from the brace as I have it lined up so theres 4 circles on each side of the brace. I'm impatient and really cant be bothered to deal with 2 lights and Im loving the Nova. Super happy I went with it.

Default Evergrow IT2040

[/IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10520017/Aq...hotos/1430.JPG

Just got this in from Nick at reefsupplycanada. The customer service he provides is nothing short of outstanding. It's the standard 'full spectrum' 120W LED setup for the Evergrow IT2040. Gotta say, so far I'm super impressed. It's currently installed over my office cube tank that's just getting started. I'll post some pictures after I figure out dropbox.

Glad you are happy with your IT2040. I've always been super impressed with the service Nick gives as well! Looking forward to seeing pictures. I still have to hang my light.

yes, there are standard color ratios layed out for you or you can choose your own to what you think will look best.

Its a DIY colour layout. So rather then getting stock colour 450 blues and 10,000k whites. I threw in a variety of other colours for a better spectrum to suit what I wanted.

Those photos are beyond oversized... and their getting quoted.
