I think it looks great BTW.

It will help spread the light..  The light cast from the led through the optic is 90deg (for optimal par at depth) one removed,  the led will spread the light at 120deg, but reduce your par at the sandbed.  So it's a trade off  but unless you are keeping high light coral on the sand bed it might help.

You can also raise the lights up.

Removing the optics is really easy anyway..

And I agree.. I think it looks good..  The shadows might take a little getting used to. Totally different look then t5.. Like I said,  don't do anything for a few days..  It grows on you

Yeah, from the picture the shadowing gives some great depth to the tank...IMHO

It looks very good to me, That Bubble looks like it's doubled in size, Are they running at 100 percent?

Tank is looking great!

If it's in the budget, I would consider an couple more like and turn them all length ways as unibob mentioned.

but i gotta give it time
(also not really in the budget haha)

Well, my eyes hurt. And not in a good way,

The light is too bright from my couch and apparently the UV actually damages your eyes.

So I rigged up a barrier out of card paper for now, I'm going to look into getting a short canopy made, my 10" high
Just to cover the lights

 

[Bfofre]

I could never understand how anyone could run lighting,  of any type,  without a canopy..  Unless of course you like living in a tanning bed

I find with LED's you don't get much light into the room.  Very directional.  Now for MH or T5's.  That's a different story.


Edit:  Didn't know you switched to LED's
I find my Maxspects don't cast too much light into the room. 

 

[EricTMah]

BTW.  Tank looks amazing Brandon!

 

[Jewel]

Gotta agree with Eric, but then again I should we're both running the Razor, I'm using the 120 optics so it spills a bit of light on the sides,  And the light sits 10 inches above the water. I love the Rimless look and the LEDs don't take anything away from the tank.

 

[curiousphil]

I get a crapton of spill from my LEDs with 120 degree optics but very little with 60 degree.

 

[Poseidon]

With the barrier lol

Also finally picked up some frozen mysis

Mixed it in with the flake I normally feed, and it was funny to watch the cbb bite flake and spit it out thinking it was mysis, picky little guy

 

[jeffopentax]

Holy bright! I like it!  Good to hear cbb is doing well.

 

[benzzz]

Love it, glad to hear everything is going well for you
