Brad, I am sure you will be happy with the purchase, You saw how it looks on apexfd's 210 with only 40% intensity. However it will appear a bit dimmer then what you are use to when you first put them on but I assure you it will have enough light to keep all the corals happy and colorful.

I know Martin at Modular have them on sale for 399 with free shipping plus its only 7% GST up there. I know its not much savings but its better then nothing.

Let me know how it goes.

That seems to be the going rate. Saving a couple of bucks on tax may work out better than buying in BC. Plus he offers swapping of the optics if he's got some. Still thinking on that feature.

Yes, I would highly recommand you changing to all 70 degrees lens since he will do it for free. I was going to get all mine changed over but since I got 9 on the tank, coverage isn't something I am concerned with.

What effect on intensity do you think this would have?
