I thought I would show you a quick light demo. The lights have a preview setting that shows the lights going from off to moonlight to sunrise to midday then to sunset and back to moonlight.
as everything is speeded up it might look a bit "jerky" but in its normal cycle the transitions are much smoother, plus you can tailor make the transitions, the vid shows the factory setting
The Lights in action
I hope you like them

new lights
Well I thought if Im going to be spending money on new wave makers in order to make a more natural environment then I may aswell upgrade the lighting to. Now I have been using three aquaray LED strip lights which were a mix of blue and white lights, they have been working good, give a nice shimmer effect, but using them limited me to keeping just fish and a few basic corals. So I decided to go again with LED but this time something more powerful so that I could keep any typ of corals that I wanted to. I also decided that if Im going to do this I may aswell get something that like the wave maker makes things more natural for the fish. This means something programmable and something with a full spectrum light spread. This means the corals get something more sun like than normal LED's and some florescent lights. The lighting system I decided to get is called a IT2080, it is fully programmable so I can set different light lvls every half an hour and I can set the intensity of the moonlight, sunrise, midday and sunset and back to moonlight again.
It is also full spectrum so it has three different typs of white light and blue lights, it has both red and green lights also.
So I guess I should show you a few of the pics ive taken so far
