    Thanks!! There's five channels; one for the moonlights (or the moon you should be able to see it in one of the pics, it has a warm white LED in the middle of it), one for the royal blues, one for the cool whites, one for the neutral whites, and one for the XPG whites.

    Awesome light. I love the whole thing. I Like the way you hung it from the wall as well! Great work.
    Four individual systems Right now.
    30gal red sea 130d lps/softies/anemone tank, kalk ato, reef bright led strip.
    40 softies set up.
    550 total gallon marineland 300 DD main system 18 months old now and stabilized. T5 VHO lights/ BLUE led strip, Fully custom built LIFE REEF sump and FUGE, AWESOME 60" tall skimmer, and 1000+ gallon rated custom Ca reactor, 3 50 gallon attached SPS frag systems lite with a combination of HM and LED and T5 fixtures.
    A 200 gallon MARS quarintine with UV system/ medication for new arrivals.

    Still lots to learn about the hobby but I have amassed a great collection of real beauties. I have broken past the stage of keeping things alive and now there actually growing out. Which is a big hurdle for many beginners I must admit. Good information and advise is hard to get sometimes and the club has done wonders with respect to quality advise and help in the hobby.

    THANKS Orlando Reef Educators Organization!!!!

    Very nice! How much did you spend on everything? Are the fans keeping all the LEDs cool? Where did you get the fan controllers?

    Fan controller was off amazon and yes, everything stays at fairly low temperatures. I did some shopping around probably spent under $1000 for everything.

    Are these fan controllers using PWM or just voltage to control?
