Yes.  A very nice lady who I met at NADA and liked apparently liked me back.  I had no idea that I'd made an impression.  She was able to give me a price on them that I will never again see other than in my dreams.  I didn't do anything to deserve this other than be myself.  I didn't even know that I'd made a friend until she gave me this gift. 

The lights are Finnex Vivid Plus.  Look 'em up.  They cost a bundle.

This one is less for plants and more for displaying the colors of the fish.  Here's the thread on Simply:  http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?130918-Need-advice-on-LED-s#post1285394

I don't know anything about lighting, but my LEDs are too bright, so I put pieces of electrical tap over some of the bulbs to adjust the brightness. You can adjust colors that way too.

I bought 3 beamswork lights before I bought these Finnex ones.  They are going to require a lot of electrical tape over the blue lights.

My new Finnex lights from Chicago Discus came in today.  If you don't know what a difference good lighting can make in the appearance of your fish, stay tuned.  In the next day or two I'll take pics of the Beamswork light and the Finnex on the same tank.  You will be astounded!

Yes.  I got them from Miranda.  She's partners with Josie. 

I can't take pics now.  I'm plum wore out,  Today has had too many ups and downs for me want to take pics.  Give me a day or two.  You will be impressed.
