Awesome! The background looks like guts, but I like it.

The pic's don't do it justice. The display does not seem so insanely blue in person, I need to play with my camera I think. The foam came out a nice matte black & hides the overflow nicely. I'v added lots of ledges withe the hopes of mounting encrusting frags later. This seems to be something that you just gotta see in person. it looks absolutely sick!

I posted this on Alberta Aquatica I am going to buy one of these when I do a larger tank.

I would say go with the new LED lights. I did the math one day and the cost of the new 250 w MH bulbs and 55w PC atinic bulbs, changing you MH every 6 months and you atinics every year would cost you the same to buy one of these LED lights.

LED lights

The math works out like this,

LED lights $3539.00

LED fixture Life 50,000 = 50,000 at 12 hours a day 365 days a year = 11.41 years

6' MH and PC light fixture

A six foot tank needs 3 250w 10,000k MH lights $1499.95.

Replacement bulbs for the MH are 94.95 each times 3 times 2 times 11.5 = 6551.55

96w attinic bulbs

Replacement bulbs for the PCs are 52.95, 4 times 11.5 = 608.93

total $8660.43

total savings of $5121.43

Nice, but it seems very blue. Is that just the camera?

If you read the previous message, the Blueis color is caused by the Camera and he still try to capture the proper color out of it using the Camera. .

I think it looks awsome. I will also be buying one of these fixtures, in the near future. Keep us updated with some pics when you have live stock in there.

Every picture I've ever seen posted of tanks with Solaris lights looks very blue and not as bright as a MH setup. I'd love to see these in person.
