    This looks to be the newest technology in reef lighting.

    My browser's not letting me post this very good. I'm going to try it again in this reply.

    I could see my self getting a couple of these fixtures to go over my 125 in a couple years(Hopefully bigger tank by then!), but at $1000 per fixture, I just can't afford the initial investment right now...

    By the way, this isn't something that's in development, it's available now. Here's where you can order if you got the money:

    hopefully the price will come down a lot in the next few years. Will be nice to see how the technology advances.

    Todd Cherry of Cherry Corals told me about this on Saturday night, he tested this out and really liked it.

    Ya, they've been working on this tech for a good 3 years now I think?
    I think I saw a slashdot article 2-3 years ago for it...
    Don't forget though too, I think they said the material inside it burns at like a bazillion kelvin or something crazy...
