No prob ! Pm sent to ya too

Time for another update!

It is always fun to post pictures of new stuff. I borrowed a PAR meter from MMMC to get a gage on where I am in light output, and the numbers didn't work out, so I sent a simple e-mail to Logan at Reef Breeders, and he was a pleasure to deal with. He suggested one of the 24" controllable fixtures to replace my current fixture, and shipped one out for me the next business day:

Very well packed!

Much improved hanging kit, and a REMOTE?

Close up, this is a nice finished look!

And over the tank.

The iPhone REALLY dislikes the LED's, I'll have to get the good camera out soon. I still have the club PAR meter, and I am getting 400ish PAR at 11" under the water, with the blue channel at 70% and White channel at 40%, at the sand bed, I am getting 200ish PAR! :D

The controller took about 5 minutes to figure out, from there it is a joy to watch the tank fade in and fade out over time. If you haven't looked at this fixture yet, please do so!

It does have 2 green, 2 red, and 4 UV as well as 4 warm white. I think there is 8 cool white as well. The rest are Royal blue.

The color is more "violet" then blue which I really like. The fit and finish of the fixture is also much better then my previous one.

I like them. I did a small mod to the colors, added a piece of tape over the lens... It really helps to diffuse the color over a larger area, and it is about as cheap as a mod as you can get in this hobby.

If you do it, add the widest (or no) optics you can find.

I can't really say, the acans and trumpet look GREAT, my SPS are all tiny frags. Fish colors are very good as well.
