Update: Equipment List: GLA Rimless 7.5g Cube (Drilled) RKL MP10 Vortech ES Maxspect LED Fixture Custom Sump Piccolo Protein Skimmer (In-Sump) Custom Stand I'm going for a very clean look, all my equipment will be hidden inside the stand.

malibukay Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Maxspect G1 60 LED just got here today! Super fast shipping, from fish-street.com! They also had great customer service! I'm very impressed with the fixture and can't wait to actually try it out next week once my tank is all set up. Maxspect G1 60 LED just got here today! Super fast shipping, from fish-street.com!

NaClCrocodile Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 That Maxspect should be awesome over it. Did you go with Crees? Are they removable if they burn out/malfunction? Link to comment
