That tank is awesome, I am jealous. Like the 4th bulkhead fro the wiring. Nice touch.

Finally got my LED light sticks for the profilux yesterday. I have only been waiting about 4 months...

They are really neat, operate as a few different things.

1. Moonlights. Do both deep blue, blue /white and white colors for different times of the lunar phase. The profilux does a full lunar cycle built into the software, also the moonlights can simulate cloud cover.

2. Red / Yellow lights. Operates on a different channel from the other lights, and adds color to sunset / sunrise. Gives a really cool effect to sunset, as the dimmable T5's dim, the reds come upto 100% and then the reds quickly fade to 0% after the t5's reach 0% then the moonlights come up.

3. Lightening - A the touch of a button, on a programed time, or randomly, a storm can pass over the tank. The t5's dim to a preset amount (I chose 80%), lightening comes up and the intensity increases, flashes get closer toghter as the storm reaches its apex, then the storm rolls off, lightening gets less frequent and less intense as the t5's come back upto 100%. Also one of the sticks works as flash 1, the other as flash 2, so they can fire independantly or together to change intensity.

One thing that I am a little dissapointed about is the fact that the sticks can't work downsteam of each other. I thought (for some reason) that I could plug one into the other, but they both need to be pluged into the profilux. Thus I need to get another splitter cable for the main computer so that I can plug my tunze back in.

Overall, really neat, well built little units.

Wow the sunset/sunrise feature sounds really cool! Wish I could see that in action...
