Well, finally got lights up over my 300 gallon. Took me 8 months to finally pull the trigger on them. I have 4 100w Ecoxotic Cannons. 2 of them are 453nms and 2 are 12k whites. I have the 12k set at about 55% and the 453s at 100%. The spread is incredible!!! No white and blue spotlight. Very even. About 36'' x 24'' from one unit 12'' above the surface. I set these things up next to a 400w MH, and they were so bright, that the MHs didn't even look like they were on! I'm very happy, and glad I went with them. Just started adding corals last week. Looking forward to see how SPS grow under these bad boys. Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking.

Those are pretty sweet, I've seen a couple other tank online using them. Any chance you could take some PAR measurements?


Whats the story with the security camera?

This is a display in my retail store. So that is why I have the cameras. I have a small LFS about 1000sq ft. I do not have a Par meter. I have a lux meter, but I don't know the formula to convert to par.
 
Has anyone else tried these out yet? I know there has been a lot used in public aquariums, but not finding many hobbiest using them yet.
 
Do you still have these lights up? Any updates? How are they working for you?
