Let there be light!!!

[flyingarmy]

Received my LumenBright reflector in the mail this week (early B-day present from the wife). Installed it tonight along with rearranging the VHOs after making some custom brackets. The light definitely packs more punch and I can tell it pushes the PAR all the way to the bottom of the 36" Cube. It's a more focused light so I'll have to get used to the center being brighter but I will deal with that small issue over the increased PAR. Here is a picture of the setup. I'll take some more pictures tomorrow when the lights come on. I have also reduced the light cycle so I can aclimate the corals to the new PAR punch!

Now we just need some pics of the tank with all that lit up!

I'll have those posted tomorrow. I still need to hook up that 2nd chamber for my MRC1 Cal Reactor I bought from you Mike. Might wait till I get some Dolomite in first to help keep the MAG up.

Thanks...another issue that I am finding is accessibility. I didn't have much space before to get into the tank, now I have less. I have got to figure out a slide mechanism or lift that will fix this problem.
