    Well against all of my best judgement I tore my LED panel apart and did a ROUGH fit. I decided to remove all the optics because I didnt like the way they made a big "spotlight" effect and it looked like my rocks were blotchy like bright white with blue spots. After removing them the spread was a lot more blended. Heres some pics of everything.

    looks real good, and you can ad the extra moon lights using the switches in the hood later or a moonlight LED strip .

    through all the material i have red, the wiring is not the hard part ogf the job just the time consumingside of it, i have read with real debate that the color choices and optics along with what color to place where is the brain teaser, if you wouldnt of bought it from kyle i was contemplating it myself but after seeing your progress and entheuasim i am glad you ended up with it! and lok forward to updates from it with pictures and what your going to do for inhabatants.

    Nice work, I think this light will be okay for the time being. I would just keep an upgrade in the back of your mind if you decide to start keeping higher light demanding corals.
