Hi Kelly,
Can you tell me what kind of price difference there was on Black Friday ?
125G - Mixed Africans

$50, The usual price is $465 and the Black Friday price was $415 US. I tried posting pics but it didn't work, I will try again.
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Let's see some pics
I've been trying to post some pics from my IPad but it keeps saying the file is too large. I'll try from my desk top.

Attempt from my desk top computer. My 220 with the light, also a pic of Papa Krib with fry.

Now that I can post pics, here is my 55 that will be emptied as soon as my 220 is finished planting, all the fish will be moved. Picture of my small Bolivian Ram fry tank with around 70 - 80 two month old fry. And finally  more Ram eggs in my 55 gallon.

Light def looks good on that 200! Looks like it was definitely worth it from what I can see so far!

Looks great. I love these lights. They really make the colours pop, not just on the plants but the fish too. Did you get the dimmer with the light?

Yes I did and glad that i did, at 100% it's intense.

Great work on the new light purchase! Mine have been going great for years! Still love them. Let me know if you start thinking about a controller for them, the Neptune Apex has my vote.

Definitely, I do want a controller. I did not want the BML controller because the feedback wasn't that good. I will look into the Neptune Apex. Thanks for the info.

Nice pics thanks for posting.

Great to see that the light has limited side bleed.

There is a great lighting video on YouTube by Dennis Wong about lighting and interested to see that he has chosen BML.

I have one of those lights:

Cheap & very strong light. I have to use dimmer - 20" deep planted aquarium.
Seller can customize length and LED's as per your request.
The only thing I didn't like about it is that timer box doesn't have battery backup.
