You really can't tell from these pics how bright the LEDs actually are. All the rock is in the tank. I'm going to let it sit for a day or two before I start to mess with it. I don't know exactly what I want the aquascape to look like.

I built the cabinet fixture however I need a much more powerful power supply then what I have. Rather than mess with this I used some under cabinet lighting I picked up from CostCo some months ago.

Heres what that looks like:

Has a remote even..

I've mounted it inside the cabinet so it is easy to access

I'm ordering the MLC controller for the RKE I just haven't done it yet.

I went to the post office and picked up my Fuge Light today:

And a nice FTS:

So I did some water tests today. I wanted to check my PH probe and as it turns out it did not calibrate correctly. Not happy about that so I will have to get some new calibration solution to fix it.

Tank Params:

Temp - 79
PH - 8.2
Ammonia - .25ppm
Nitrite - unknown
Nitrate - 5-10ppm

Salinity - 1.025

Can't wait to get some stuff in there! I'm getting bored looking at rocks...

A few pics from today. I added a piece of LR that I picked up from my new favorite LFS...the cheato is in the fuge and critters are out and about...

Ammonia has hit 0....Nitrites are up and I'm seeing Nitrates... Looks like I'm getting to the end of the cycle... Almost time for a PWC

Wow! Every time u post a new pic, it makes me want to switch to LEDs more and more! It's gonna look incredible loaded up with corals.

Looking great! Curing all that LR definitely paid off.
