I am also glad you got to play with LED and T5 so I didn't have to do it (not that I would have anyways, my money tree out back died a few years ago, it was a sad event).

More pics soon, finished the rough build of the light box, looks like it's too heavy to use my original mounting plan, so I'll need to build an aluminum rail to suspend it from. Oh well.

Also not going to be able to use glass covers on the lights, unless I dream up something. Hmm. I'll sleep on it.

only problem is I think you got to play with the wrong LEDs, I saw Doug's a couple months ago and they were the first LEDs that truly impressed me with there color and brightness.

No, I don't agree. I don't think any LED can match a Radium for SPS color. My opinion only, but it's my tank, so it's the opinion that matters
