My camera sucks I put in a few zoas and a ric and a Duncan so far. I have a few more wild zoas I'm putting in in the morning and some other stuff maybe a lawyer of some form.

Looks like your polyps are opening :)

LOL, My pictures are so bad that I'm embarrassed that I even posted them.

Thanks for the shots:)

Are you happy with the a80 over your nano?

Yes, Time will tell.
I think it's been 3 weeks since I modded them into my canopy.
Now, That hammer blows out so much during the day that you can't even see the H pattern anymore and it's hammer polyp's are huge.

Got to give a big thumbs up to Kessil. For a $129 it's hard to beat over a nano,

Update:
I'm about 7 to 8 weeks in with the Kessil a80's modded into my canopy.
I could not be any happier. All my lps have been balloon'd out and my SPS are still colored up and continue to go and encrust my live rock. I have a red hot chilli pepper that's 20" down and it's color and growth have never been better.

Even though it took 7 hours to complete, this is by far the best lighting mod that I've ever done for my reef.

@pugcrush
Thanks again for your input on our PM's.
Between you and Kessil's advice you guys were spot on. :)
