In looking at the photos I posted, it's really tough to get representative photos under Royal Blue LEDs. Here are a couple shot using a flash that give you a bit of a "truer" sense of their appearance. I apologize for the poor clarity - as these frags are just below the water's surface in my FT, it's too shallow to use my acrylic shoot-down box so these are shot from above the waters surface and appear a bit blurry.
These Palys (forgot the name if any) were a surprise. Although the photos doesn't nearly do them justice, they are very beautiful. Much brighter (and three time larger) than my Red Hornets.

I was able to get the Reef Brite mounted today, Here are a few photos and a couple short video clips.
The Reef Brite is attached via screws to the back lip of the T5 fixture (the T5 fixture is intentionally mounted backwards to avoid having the cords at the end of the desk.)
The mounting bracket allows me to adjust the angle, controlling the placement of light and PAR.
The first video shows the color and brightness of just the Reef Brite, then adds 2 tubes of T5s, then then 4 tubes of T5s (It's not nearly as bright as it appears in the video.)

Here's a top-angle shot showing the shimmer created by the Reef Brite LEDs...
