LEDs suck. They aren't bright enough to grow anything and the colors are terrible.

Oh, wait a minute, this is 2011.

LEDs rock. I just converted my whole tank. (I'm going to forever miss my MH/VHO combo though...we had such a good run and I really, really, really liked them).

Looking forward to seeing the AIs on your tank.

Frustrating isn't it!! I love Ace because they have tons that HD and Lowes don't carry...BUT...they close so freakin' early!! Can't wait to see them though!

I like ACE better too. It's a good compromise between the modern big box places and the seldom-available mom and pop shops.

That said, Home Depot doesn't have stainless steel 10/32? I was rummaging through my local HD the other day and they had two drawers of SS bolts.

Lol so update I hung the fixture 7" from the water and the spread wasn't quite right so I took the shelf out of the canopy and moved them 15 which was the recomended height I got so we will see!!!

The tank is 6' I was hoping to get away with leaving my shelf in there but with it that close there were a few shadows but after raising it up the coverage is amazing! I love em!!! I think I'm going to start my percentages at 35 white. 40 blue 40 royal blue ramp them up 5 percent every week-2 weeks

Nice....real nice, Clark. I like it.

Edit to add - can you comment on visual differences between running them 40/40/40 vs 100/100/100? Does the color temp look similar between these two settings?

It's beautiful - enjoy your next Xcel bill! I wish I could tell them where to go too. My spouse put in a woodstove and now we don't pay Xcel much but the grocery store sure loves us (those damn $5 packs of wood).
