Man you don't get a good sense of scale from the video. I was over there is weekend and this thing is a BEAST. Steve, get a picture of with a beer can on the top or a yard stick next to the tank. Also this thing is amazingly quiet. I can’t wait till this thing gets stocked, then I coming over with a fishing pole and my cutters. 
Yep! No reason to rush in this economy! Come over here to Detroit and you can feel it big time. Plus, I'm very busy with work and my little guy. He's definitely a cute kid. Brings a smile to my face every day. I keep telling my wife that he'll love the reef tank once it has water and fish. For now, he likes watching the Koi in our pond. I'll get it going soon enough. For now, I just have fun watching and learning from you.

Andy, i said the same to my wife that my little girl will love the colorful fish. Don't take too long
....I hope we have lighting expert here. My high speed Sfiligoi fixture come with a socket that won't fit Ushio bulb or any other bulb. According the Alessandro the one who build this fixture claim that is the E-40 socket which is 40mm while the bulb is E-39 which is 39mm. Please take a look at the picture and let me know if you see something that i don't.
Here is the socket... It is 40mm on top but it get smaller inside where the thread is...
Ushio bulb try to fit in the socket. BTW, i already broke 2 bulbs.

SORRY but I think this is b**sh*t from Sfiligoi - each time they screw up, they always try to find excuses from the many threads I read about that!! Prior was the power supply not compatible in the US/ Europe and now the socket???
One of the reason why i always stay away from their product!!
I feel for u Steve, especially forking out so much for those fixtures :mad2:
Now the claim that something is wrong with Ushio bulb.... WILL at AO has been working hard to fix this issue. If Sfiligoi don't send me another sockets accompany with a bulb that actually fit inside i will send all 4 fixtures back and they better get it fix or refund my money....

AO has tried to fix their mess more than a few times from what I read around. I'm surprise AO is still doing representing them !!
I'm usually a pretty cool and patience guy but this Sfiligoi issue thingy is really getting into me as time and time again they do this b**sh*t
Odd that Ushio bulbs will be the issue where no other fixture in the world has an issue with Ushio bulbs
Go figures.....

I will have Ushio expert identify the mogul socket and let me know the size. Sfiligoi ask if i can get another socket that will work with the bulb in America? I can get another socket for $5.99 but i have to get rid of Sfiligoi Ceramic housing as well as the socket. Which mean i paid $1299 for just the reflector....

You paid $1300 per reflector?
