I can't be upset with you guys, because areze also lured me into lousing up my own thread with needless banter.
This is part of the reason I'm choosing to feature the things I build off-site in a respectful atmosphere.
I fully appreciate and will answer questions about wanting to understand theory of operation. These things contribute to learning and advancing the hobby.
I spent a full hour of my time yesterday responding to foolishness from areze. I often work 12-16hr days, and I only have a couple of hours of personal time in a day. I'm not going to spend it defending the existence of my project or my testing. Anyone who doesn't want to believe it's possible or believe Xenon is efficient, or believe it can produce photosynthetic spectra is welcome to believe that way. I have too many other projects that need my time to spend it in back and forth banter trying to convince anyone of anything.
If you don't like it, don't trust it, don't want it, don't want to see it, are convinced that only lots of 250-400w MH bulbs can light a reef, then simply stop viewing the thread please.

You brought a big smile to my face. The feeling is mutual.
Whenever trying new things, it's a risk of an investment in time and money, and for things like this, the biggest risk is in the health of my corals. So far I'm observing the normal reactions to lighting that I saw with my previous lighting. If I begin to see my corals take a turn for the worse, I do have my previous lighting on hand to throw back over the tank and hopefully recover.
Things are looking healthy and promising so far, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
For everyone who had nice things to say, thank you, I appreciate your kindness.
Best Wishes,
-Luke
