Steve

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.

Really I have to say the tank pic is pretty great. As for the fixture...I think it looks just as good as before.

Looks nice man. My preference would have been simple flat strips to match the shaker doors but I still like what you've done.

Moved in a new fish from my holding tank, got him all trained up eating mysis.

What a cutie...

Got a couple more still waiting to move in but they still need a little more work.

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

Pics are AMAZING!

I know I've seen a 480g rimless ELOS build on RC. Apparently you can go BIG =)

Most tank builders will be reluctant to build a rimless tank over 5 feet in length, however from my experience and knowledge 72" long and 30" tall would be the max for 19mm. So in theory you could go 72"x72"x30" and end up with about 650 gallons of rimless tank.
