Not until I get it on the 300 gal as it will be almost double the height. The only spots that I can see that are a little dark are the ends which is just fine to me. I used to have a shaded spot right in the middle with the MH.

Actually that Sailfin is rather huge, with his fins expanded I would say he's around 10" top to bottom, hence the 300 gal.

You can tell the light is focused downwards just be comparing the sand up against your glass. It's not lit up nearly as well under the LEDs. Should be cleaning the glass a lot less which is a nice bonus.
I sure hope it will help with the glass getting that algea film, I bought one of those kick arse Tiger Shark mag cleaners and it is a work out just to clean the glass but it does a great job.
