New system build......300g

Thanks Scott. The 180 is the standard 72x24x24. I am really swaying towards the Solaris. I will admit, I am a little disappointed to hear about your problems with the light strips. My understanding (from RC) is that PFO was going to test every light they got in from China. PFO is under pressure to get the lights out, so some may have slipped through.

As you said, I figure I can hang them a little higher and this will provide a little more light spread.

I love the banging head against wall comment. I do a good job, which may explain why my wife keeps telling me I have a hard head. (Goes with selective listening too).

With a depth of 24 you can raise your lights a little higher and get good coverage. You may get some shading either front or back depending on what you want but I am finding some things are needing to have some shading.

Start a tank thread. Sounds like you will have a unique project and a new thread can help you alot. When you start banging your head against the wall there are a lot of people here willing to help you hit it harder.....errr work around the issue....lol
