Thing looks pretty menacing! So the rows of LEDs don't overlap? looks like you have a centered back fixture and then two flanking in the front?

I'm taking bets now btw on how long till this tank sees corals =)

Yep no overlap, the panels are 12 1/4" x 12 1/4' so I was unable to put all 3 in a row but I like the way the light looks with water in the tank. I was thinking of trying a couple of my leathers and a few shrooms in this tank but not 100% sure yet
