Dang, Taylor, that pic is sooo subtly phenomenal, I swear. I don't think I have ever seen 250W Radium color on HQI/Galaxy so accurately reproduced. Thanks, very cool, your expertise really shows and is not taken for granted by this reefer...

143Gadgets- I am always blown away by your corals and pics. What do you have on your bottom, it looks like a thin sheet of plastic.

Those are Azoo fans, I used them on my 120 and now on my 58 as well. Two 4 fan units are cheaper than those silly profilux 3 fan units.

are the 250 watts the same spectrum of color that the 400 watts will give you.
