Its a DIY colour layout. So rather then getting stock colour 450 blues and 10,000k whites. I threw in a variety of other colours for a better spectrum to suit what I wanted.

Those photos are beyond oversized... and their getting quoted.

I've got a single IT2040 on my 24"x24"x18" depth 'cube' and it's doing fine. I have some SPS on the bottom and they're doing great at 50% on both channels. At 24" I doubt you would have any problems. I've read over at Reef Central that the par ratings are impressive even up to 30" and I'm a believer. I'll be posting a review here soon.

So I've got the 2080 and programming was pretty easy. Took a while but it's self explanatory for the most part. The I Lu problem I have is I can't figure out what the button on the bottom right of the remote controller does. The one marked *

Can anybody shed some light on this? Pun intended
