Who cares what effect egg crate has on light spread? First and foremost it's ugly as sin. And if you have a trimless tank obviously aesthetics was one of your concerns. And if you don't have a trimless tank then put a canopy over that puppy and your jumping fish concerns are pretty much moot. The interaction with egg crate is hardly a reason to slag a fixture.

I am not slagging the fixture in fact I am hoping to buy either one of these or the AI unit but I am not brave enough to be the first to put my money down. Just pointing out the apparent pros and cons that are apparent.

What is the clear netting, does anyone have a link.

The fixture is awesome and my SPS is growing amazingly well at only 50% power!

I'll post more updates as soon as I receive the V-Stick and LightStudio

Cheers!

Yes please post more updates TDF. I'm new to SW but not fish keeping in general. I am still collecting information and a buddy of mine who helps out at SUM has reccomended Vertex to me. I'm planning on a cube tank...size will depend on what I can get away with
