On top of also being on Amazon which means I can have them in two days!I wouldn’t pay the premium for sb reeflights. Visparactas are a very good idea. Put out some nice or too. You could even mod some mars aqua or other eBay lights
Looking at the SB reeflights they do use a 0-10v pwm. A little different to set up with reef-pi but doable.
I would go with the Vipar lights myself. The wi/fi to me is just something else to play with and not worth the price IMO. I think the SB reeflights have a bit better spectrum but the vipars will grow anything you put in your tank.

BTW if your looking to get a light meter to check you lights this is the one I got:
https://www.amazon.com/d/Light-Mete...UTF8&qid=1547658184&sr=8-6&keywords=lux+meter
It's not water proof so you can only read from water level but it gives a good starting point to figuring out how much par your lights are putting into the tank. Just take the LUX reading and divide by 50 and it will give you a close approximation of par value.
Thank you Captain Quint! it means alot! been alot of work to get to this point!
@Reef Recked seeing the bikes...well you planted a seed, I'm gonna dress for the weather and take my Road King out for a few miles shortly.
Again. Outstanding job and your acrylic work is totally amazing. I noticed in one of the later pics you moved the Tunze Pump off the bottom of the sump...vibration?
Great job for sure.
The second acrylic tank I made was more of an experiment and I rounded the top some. Pretty rough but looked pretty good after I flame polished it. Yours is really nice.
Very nice. Looks like you have a good grasp on making things from acrylic.
I have never done any building with acrylic but I might try an algae scrubber.
Any tips for an acrylic noob?
Great tips.
I do a bit of wood working and I build guitars so I have pretty much all the tools I need. I have 80 tooth finishing blades for my table and mitre saws, I also have a couple different routers and a router table.
When you sand the edges are you using wet/dry sand paper like 600 grit or finer?
Great build and thank you for sharing! I am thinking of trying to make some stuff from acrylic... can I ask what thickness you use and where you get it from
