Thing looks pretty menacing! So the rows of LEDs don't overlap? looks like you have a centered back fixture and then two flanking in the front?

I'm taking bets now btw on how long till this tank sees corals =)

Yep no overlap, the panels are 12 1/4" x 12 1/4' so I was unable to put all 3 in a row but I like the way the light looks with water in the tank. I was thinking of trying a couple of my leathers and a few shrooms in this tank but not 100% sure yet

Finally got this beast up and running. Still have to build and stain the doors and a couple small corner pieces that are going to house my ATO and salt storage.

I still call this a FOWLR Even though there are a few corals in it.

Fish Only With Leathers & Rock

I was waiting for you to notice I was up till 3 am trying to get this thing going and my biggest problem was my skimmer pump would not stay running. So I hope you don't mind me test driving your BK you will be very happy with this skimmer, if they werent so pricey I would get one. I think I am going to get the 3 T1000's I have all cleaned up and running like new, sell them off and get a new Bubble Magnus or something.
