Anything lost color ? What is Steves where you got the long heat sink,
Sorry for all of the questions, was running some chinese fixtures and just wasnt happy with the colors etc
Thanks.

My long tube setup:
Growth was definitely better with the new led's.Poly extension was way better.

Color was great. Much more intense with 120w vs 42w. Tons more shimmer too. You can change that around if play with the optic options. I like the shimmer.

Individual corals each had their own changes. Pink birdsnest got pinker. Green stag turned blue almost all the way down to the base (used to have just blue tips). Both brain corals started growing very fast(for brain corals). They hadn't changed in years. Purple Haze turned from brown to deep purple.

I didn't lose anything.

Now as a side note, about the same time as this I started auto dosing my alk/ca and was getting some consistent numbers for once so I can't say the lights were the sole cause. But I know they helped.

My son's biocube:
Success all around and like I say, it'll be at my house soon and if the corals all survive the move, I'll take some pics.

Here's Steve's site.
