Second. At MACNA right now and the Director interface looks great along with the option for custom pucks later.

+1 on the radions. They are awesome units, with lots of bells and whistles, and the tech support from the company is great to work with!

I am wondering about my set up (72" long 150g) that has a canopy. Most LED set ups I see are above the display tanks some 3ft? I don't want to get rid of my hood. It does have some ventilation holes cut in to it. Right now I have 250w mh Radiums with two fans to pull heat out of the hood and a 1/3hp chiller to keep the temp in check. The LEDs would be somewhere around 6 to 8" above the water surface. Any issued to consider with this set up? BTW I have a mixed reef with sps.

Thanks!

DIY is the best IMO!

+2 I have the Value Cree over my 36x24 tank, and it covers it beautifully!

Can the values be installed underneath a canopy?

Cool! I think I will check them out! I'm probably going to have more questions. I hope I don't bug you all to death...lol

SPS Junky and Skins78.....Are you using a controller on your Values? If so what kind? They now sell a fixture with its own built-in controller. Has anyone purchased these and what is your opinion?

ReefBreeder - I would want to do a rack installation instead of hanging. Does anyone sell a rack that fits?

Thanks!
