We got the lights for the build from Dave Fason. These things are ridiculously bright!! Almost too bright to get good pictures of the corals without pulling the fixture away some. I can't wait to get them set up over the new tanks. These pictures are without optics on the lights. The first pics are of the fixture and LED's themselves. The heatsinks are 5 1/2" x 10" x 1 1/2" and the LED boards are 4" x 4". They have 48 LED's each. These mimic a 400 watt halide.
These next pics are comparison shots between the LED's and the Radium 20k halide. The first pics will be under the Radium. The second pics will be under the blue LED's only. The third pics will be with the blue and white LED's on, but with the whites dimmed quite a bit.
Tyree War and Peace Favia on the left and Coraldiva's Blue Magic Chalice on the right under Radium 20k.
Same pieces under blue LED's only.
Same pieces under blue and white LED's.
Aussie Lords under Radium 20k.
Same pieces under blue LED's.
Same pieces under blue and white LED's.
Thanks for looking!

nUgZ, how are your corals acclimating to the LEDs?

I didn't put that fixture over this tank permanently...that was just for a few pictures. They were supposed to go over two frag tanks and large display tank, but I'm not going to be finishing that setup. I just don't have the time and energy to do it. I'm actually thinking about shutting down this tank too...

I understand completely about fighting for the time and energy. It's an intense hobby. I hope everything is ok with you.
