there are two lumen brights...a mini and large...
Mini: 15 1/2 x 16 1/2 x 7 H
Large: 20 x 20 x 9 H
and it says to add 7" for socket bracket
i have seen these compared to some other reflectors on pools that measure 8 FT in diameter...the lumen brights light the entire pool...now granted the outer rim is dimmer...but it still brights fairly well the entire pool...and probably a 3ft or so radius the best.

Just was wondering how are you planning on coating the wavebox looks a bit tight to get your hands in to roll it on, or is going to be sprayed on?

freakin.....you just reminded me i was going to wait to attach the box so i could epoxy it seperately...JUNK!!!!
oh well, i can still do without, just more trouble...dang it....the wavebox is about 6" wide, so it will be fine to epoxy, i just have to do the bottom first and then the sides so i dont get anything on my arms...oh and i'm pouring the epoxy and using a spreader.

Looks great! Is the tank ten feet without the wavebox? And, I was looking through the fish on this site (and others, for that matter) and noticed that this picture of the Bangaii cardinal is of your fish. Are those guys going in this tank? I bet they would like a ten ft tank!

Thats sad. Are you going to get another pair? They seem like cool fish. I'm planning on getting one for my tank.

Bronco, I've got a pair that have mated, twice now. However the stupid male hasn't figured out yet how to complete the deal.
He has aborted twice. I do plan however to mate these and try to pair a few up. Send them to other aquariust who I know would be dedicated to raising a few. You interested? They're free, just pay shipping. Let me know, we'll discuss it some more. This will be quite a while down the road yet, since I'm going to have to send them to family counselling because of the males attitude.
