Final assembly is now complete. All optics are on everything except the red & green, acrylic covers are cut & in ( hard to see ) & everything is all wired up as neat as possible for the temporary hood. Going to tackle the task of getting it on the tank this weekend & then the fun begins trying to get the Profilux programming figured out.

I have the LED's set so the Blue are at 100% from 9am - 9pm, CW / NW HEW set at 50% from 9am - 6pm, CW XPG'S set at 10% to 100% back to 10% from 9 am - 3 pm & Red / Green set at 10% from 11am - 6pm ATM.

I will be playing with them over the next week to get thing just the way I want them but man I am really liking how the colors pop.
