I got the ok from the wife on upgrading my lighting. This is what I went for. Looks extremely similar to the radion's diodes for alot less chedar. Still was higher than what I wanted to pay along with no reviews yet that I could find. 2 year warranty and serviced in the USA. So excited for this to show up!

My current lights have been good to me, but the particular fixture I have has 1 powercord, 2 channels (blue and white) and NO DIMMERS! I have made it work but Ive really wanted to go full spectrum with a built in timer for a while now.
 
Still isnt open yet and the color seems to be about impossible to capture, but here is a quick shot of it.

Here it is this morning. I might have more flow on it than it likes, still not sure yet.

Thanks man me neither! To the naked eye it looks peachy. Mostly pink but with a very slight orange tint. I has about 4" of tube skeleton I was able to bury in the sand. That's always nice.

Nice looking light. Let me know how it works out for you.

Picked up bigger and controllable return pump and installed it today as well. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time. The old mag drive model 3 is still running strong though. I got one of the Jecod/Jebao DCT 4000. Very good price and strong recommendation from my buddy. The flow in the tank and through the sump is SO much better.

Looks like a nice pump Paul. I didn't know they made pumps that were controllable. Thats a really nice feature to have.

Thanks. They make pretty decent fully controllable wave makers as well. I've read good things about them.
