FlCandy Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Does it count if it's a 40B DT with a 40B sump as well?? If so I will post pics later. 1 Quote Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 So many nice setups. Also, sorry about the terrible picture, goddamn LEDs are terrible to shoot under. Anyways, the tanks has been doing very well :knocking on wood: I decided to be a little reckless and try this out. I've had SPS the tank before and they always died within 3 days max, I've had a Miami Orchid Acro frag in the tank for 12 days now and it has been coloring up nicely so I decided to get a little crazy and purchase some more. All are showing good color, polyp extension and even white growth tips. http://s27.photobucket.com/user/DrftNme/media/IMG_0482_zpsc03cadc2.jpg.html'> 3 Quote Link to comment

Its a work in progress as well as my first tank. I've never really been a big fan of premade fixtures but Idk, something about the razors are just killer. I honestly think if I was going to spend the money on a premade a fixture it would definitely be a 160w razor. Looks great man. Quote Link to comment
RAdkins Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Thank you, I like the Razor. I think its a great fixture for the price. I really didnt want to spend the cash for 2 radeons to cover the 40b. I wish the razor was alittle wider and more space between the pucks,. With my scape I get some shadows in the corners. I do like the color that it has. I also wouldnt mind if it could be controlled by the apex. Quote Link to comment
