I'll take a short vid to show the Dazzle n Glimmer tomorrow, plus I missed a few transistion pics. I have circuits 1,2,5 and 6 Ramping Up 12% - 30% then Ramping Down 30% - 12% in a 30 minute duration, looks pretty awesome

Cheers, Todd

Great work Todd. As always your work is top notch and very clean. Cant wait to see the vid. It sound like we both need to make trips to each others houses.

Thanks for the time laps photos. It will be interesting to see how your tank will react to the whole program. Over a 6mo to 12mo period.
 
Thanks Guys, was sure nice to wake up this morning to a fully running lighting system (Thanks again to Floyd and Dave). Very happy with the combination of LED's I chose, super crisp white with a touch of blue and reminds me of snorkeling on Kaui in the shallow reef flats. (what Krish gets to see all the time) I will try my hand at the video a little later today after some cleanup time.

Cheers, Todd
 
How about a shot of sunrise this morning...

Pretty cool, and similar to having MH's coming on and warming up in sequence.

And now for the vid with Dazzle-n-Glimmer

hopefully this works... first vid post

Cheers, Todd
