Been following your build, very nice job. Just wondered if you had any updates on how your corals are liking it. I know it is a little soon to judge but just initial thoughts observations, any bleaching, better extension...ect. ?

Corals seem to really like the new LED's. Nothing showed any signs of being unhappy, no bleaching and my zoa's have really shown the best signs of growth, color & the frills around the outside are longer then they ever have been.

Modular should give you a big discount. I like the red and green. Now I really want to built one. Off to Modular LED I go.

Holy cow Grizz, that is one awesome fixture! I've been in the planning stages of one for the last couple months but have had issues with getting heatsinks that didn't cost me an arm and a leg to get to the island. I'm headed up to Calgary in Aug to visit my sister, I may have to PM you and run up there to check out your stuff if you're open to it.
Funny how I've had my tank almost a year and I just heard about Canreef about a week ago! Oh, and thanks again for the pump!

I was really surprised how easy they are to build once I learned a little about LED.

Can I ask why you didn't put any red in your LED selection? I'm curious, there seems to be lots of back and forth about red and its benefits/detriments, but nothing firm on either side. Also why the green?

The fixture looks awesome!
