100gal Build: New Pics

[sphelps]

OK so one problem solved.

The light bleed was pretty bad, so without going crazy the best solution seemed to be build a small extension.

This was it before:


Here's the extension all built and stained:


And here's the final result:



No more light bleed which is much better but I'm not sure if I lost a few points on style

Lost? No I think you gained points. Thats very nice!!!!

I agree with Dan. I like it better.

Wow! That looks fantastic! I'm looking to change out my T5s right now and am torn between looking at a DIY MH and a DIY LED (maybe an AI Sol). Everytime I look at LED stuff, though, it seems as though people are complaining about colour of reds and orange and loss of richness in the corals compared to MH. But holy damn, does that tank shot look great!

What % are you running at in thoes pics? also have you looked into some PAR readings yet? if you do can you make sure you do a 100% setting reading as well as where you like it please. I am realy interested to see how Steve's LEDs put out.

Hard to say exactly as the controller varies throughout the day but I would guess blues close to 90%, whites at about 70% and reds 5%.

No par meter over here so not much I can do right now, maybe sometime in the future I'll get one. I do believe there are PAR readings on RC for these LEDs if you're interested.

Definitely a 10 out of 10 for style, looks awesome.

Wow! I want a 120 rimless so bad! I wonder how big you can go before needing eurobracing?

Pics are AMAZING!
