Im hopeing for good results becuase if it turns bad thats alot of money that i wasted. Ill post up some pictures later of some of my corals as a starting point for the update post later on. Also if anyone is in the area and wants to check them out or has a par meter and wants to get a reading on theses let me know.

I've had 2 of the 6061 over my 75 Gallon Aquarium since september and I love it.

The clams really love the light, and all my corals seem fine. Added Bonus, no temperature fluctuations, and no nuisance algae blooms!

Most of my coral are loving it so far but some of my acros are not as happy as before with the halides so I but some screen over the tank to filter the light a little to kinda slowly aclimate them to the new lights

I will be watching this thread. I almost got 3 Ecoxotic panorama modules when I put up my tank in November but it was a difference in like 250$. (I went with a diy 250w mh pendant.) I wouldn't stomach spending that when I was already forking out so much for everything else I needed to get started. The lights look fabulous and very bright in that tank of yours. I can't wait to see how your coral like if after 6 months and beyond.

Are you hosting them online, like at photobucket.com? Or are you posting them some other way?
