    I am currently using a 2 bulb T5 fixture w/ older bulbs, on my 75 gallon tank.

    I have a new Maxspect Razor 160w Light ordered, but today found out It has been delayed til more arrive first part of sept. Grrr!!!

    Do I wait? I have started adding a few diff. LPS corals already, (My new LED Razor was supposed to be here now).

    Order different brand LED Light?

    I would like to hear you guys toughts/ recommendations.

    I bought 2 AI Sol fixtures. They are pricey, but they are great.

    For future reference AC&C carries the AI's in stock last I knew. Also if you are a paying GIRS member last I knew we got 10% off at the store. But my memory could be failing me here so double check me.

    Wow, looks great. I wonder if mine made that much of a difference. My tank was painted sky blue when I got it and I'm not sure I'm getting the same kind of color effect.

    Yeah light Blue is real bright. Black makes the color pop. I just wish I could come up with a plan to talk my wife into letting me spend a Grand on Lighting. I am having a time just getting a Apex controller for $500.00. Getting real close. Plus I just bought new golf clubs last Month. lol Over time baby..
