I'll definitely get some shots up here soon. I'm trying to figure out how I want to cover the back wall now. I was using the reef ceramic rocks on the back wall but have since taken them out. Now I need to figure out how I will deal w/ covering the Ext. overflow from the front. I've seen another custom 225 on here and they used a sheet of acrylic and had the teeth cut out for the overflow. Sorry to the owner of the tank, My memory is failing me right now. I should remember becouse it is a sweat tank.
I think you are right w/ the dealer/distr. having their hands tied. Will I think actually picked up the tab to take care of me on my 3-400w IC E ballasts. It's a fix and I'm grateful to Will for doing what he did but Sfigiloi should of stood behind it's product and replaced it. I paid like yourself paid top dollar for these fixtures and we should of recieved that. Mine is working good so far but my T-5 frames are bent as well (shipping) and after taking mine apart a couple weeks ago I noticed it is very hard to take out and replace T-5 bulbs. Now I can worry about breaking T-5's any time I replace them. Here is a pic showing how my fixture was bent. as well a pic of how the tank looked when I first set it up w/ RC's.
Take Care,
Chad

And one more showing how my fixture showed up. Don't let my son scare you. I did'nt even realize he was in the pic. I must of been excited about finally getting the fixture.

Looking at the packaging it travelled quite a ways. Hopefully they can send you some replacement parts. I mentioned to Alessandro at Sfiligoi and told them that they should get a US based distribution center to avoid distant shipping from costs, time, customs and damages. Also trying to get them to rework the software on the ACLS to be able to control the actinics more and maybe come on before and after the halides. If things like this keep happening people will go elsewhere. The fixture is awesome but getting it one piece seems to be the problem.
