Thanks Joe. I think there are just some things that are so clearly true that there is no other option than for people to agree! T5/LED hybrid or MH/LED hybrid are one of those things. Careful though, around here agreeing with me is liable to get you insulted and called a smartass! I think I'm actually going to be ordering another one of these heatsinks and adding some more LEDs. I want to add some blue and UV on a third driver so I can keep them at 700ma and keep the UV from burning up. I have also been toying with adding a couple neutral white LEDs instead of 2 of the Royal Blues. That will let me add a third blue plus instead of the second coral plus. I love the way the tank looks now but I'm a blue freak.
More importantly....there's this......and keeping this looking good under my lights will quickly become my #1 priority!
Have they been released? The new ones that were on reef builders? There have been several LED tube options but they all required requiring end caps to an LED driver. I'm going to check them out right now, if they have an all Royal
Blue I'm in!

I'm have the distinct honor of being in the individuals signature! One of those pot calling the kettle black kind of things i think? Thanks for the compliment on the tank and the holiday wishes! Girlfriend and I have been lighting candles and just put up our first christmas tree together.
Happy holidays to you (and everyone else) too mushroom man!!
Here is a photo of the tank. I have been able to replace all of the pieces I really missed from my breakdown in Chicago or have a line on all of them besides the WCR rainbow and ATL cherry bomb. Just switched sand from CaribSea Special Grade to Tropic Eden Reeflakes. Browned out/broke a lot of coral in the process but over the next few years I'm going to be happy I made the switch when I did!! Also really pissed off my scolys when i switched to an RW8. Was simply too much flow and ended up with some flesh tearing/bleaching. Luckily with the addition of a second RW8 and full function control (including max/min speed in else mode) with my new JBWave controller the flesh is 100% healed so just a matter of time before color comes back too.

Yeah, I checked yesterday. Pre-order only
. I'm just going to order another retrofit kit from Rapid I think. That way they will be controllable with the rest of the chips and a proven technology. I like the tubes but I'm pretty skeptical about heat dissipation now that I've been looking into them.Who knows though, with me, anything could happen. Being a tinkerer is a blessing and a curse!

Starting to see the benefits of the T5/LED hybrid. This coral is the closest thing I've seen to the milli/prostrata I used to have from [MENTION=2509]rockhead[/MENTION]:
Another milli from the LFS, starting to color up into a pink/yellow, really nice!

A lot of this mariculture stuff will probably be moving out soon. Just waiting to see what colors up and what doesn't. I happened to get a really good ORA hook up directly from ORA so I bought a lot.....oops!

Thanks guys!! It's really nice to know I'll finally be in one home for a while. That moving from apartment to apartment thing sucked for tank stability!
