Went to all LED lighting on my Deep Blue 57 rimless tank. Decided to go with the LUMENTEK PRO 240 with stand. So far I'm happy with my decision. Took a bit to program the light, but you can customize the light up to 240 programs a day. Tank is running 3-5 degrees cooler with all LED lighting. Had to turn my heater up to keep it at 76.

Nice. Looks sweet. I've been on the fence about this 240 purchase. How long have you had it running and have you noticed a difference with color pop? First pic has a bunch of fish, second I only see a fox face. Are they in for the night?
 
Only been running 3 days. Was playing around with remote on 2nd pic. Have different programs on the remote plus the custom one you program
 
How do you like the color? I'm picking mine up tomorrow but I keep reading that you should look for a 2:1 or even 3:1 ration of blue to white. This setup is 1:1.
 
I have custom programed mine to change every 60 mins throught out the day. So far corals are looking good. I'm not sure on the color ratio, but you can custom order and put more blue lights,etc. How do you have yours setup? I have been out of town and tank looked good after a week. other than the cleaning. I do really like having the lights gradually turn on/off. let me know how you setup yours as I'm still fine tuning.
