I think I'm going to bite the bullet and finally order lights from BML.

I'm trying to figure out which one though. Right now I have it narrowed down between the MC Series Dutch Planted Tank 6300k, which I love that it has color control but by the same token I'll still be running my Satellites as viewing lights and they have all the color control I need.

Orrrrr, the 10,000K Planted XB. From the pictures of the color comparisons I enjoy the way these look more and they seem to have a higher PAR rating.

I think I'm going for upper mid-light, not full high light.

What are the color controls and dimmers like on it? And do you have any pictures of your tank with it?

It's just a power percentage dimmer. You'd need to order custom spectrum to dictate colors and all that jazz.. here's the tank.. needs some attention..

Man I was leaning towards the 10000K but you're starting to change my mind.

Do you know what PAR levels classify as low, medium, and high light? Also, what angle did you make yours?
