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.

40b display with a soon-to-be 20 or 29g sump.

 

Two par38 full spectrum bulbs with no optics. Currently running a small skimmer with a HoB filter while I'm waiting to get my stand drilled and plumbed.

 

Running in this tank for about two weeks now, came out of a 30 long.

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.

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.
