I agree, sick set-up. Why do you run 1.25 watt led\'s when 3 watts are available, if you don\'t mind me asking?

Well, considering the power consumption and the shallow depth of this tank, I think 1.25W lamps are quite enough fitting to my need!
3W lamps are definitely brighter but also generate more heat. If there is no proper heat-sink to take away the heat, those lamps will be killed by their own heat!
1.25W is still popular here for those tanks with depth lower than 24".

After solving some leakage problem due to the bad plumbing before, here is the second time layout for this tank.

Is the tank glass or acrylic?  Looks nice..
Are those LED lights adequate enough to keep sps corals?  Keep the growth pics coming.

This is a tempered-glass tank. I have two LED fixtures installed on my another 36" tank in my living room. There are some sps in that tank and they are growing under the LED light and showing the color as well. I am not good on keeping sps, and the water quality is not properly adjusted to maintain sps (NO3~5ppm, PO4~1ppm). However, they are still healthy under the LED light. Will keep you posted with the growing pics in the future.
