Our friends over at Aquarium Architecture sent us over some pictures of a project they did and I wanted to share them with everyone. They are based in the UK. Definitely check out their site. They do some incredible work.

Damn, i cant believe they finally updated it. Biocube HQI plus they include the skimmer and they just released a uv sterilizer that connects to the pump. That would be my first addon.

IceCap LunarLite – Blue LED Retrofit
The LunarLite LED tubes have the same look of a standard T5 tube, but they are powered by a low voltage transformer, not a fluorescent ballast. The T5 form provides better spread of the light over the entire aquarium. Encasing the LED’s inside a T5-style tube protects them and their circuit boards from the harsh, salty, humid environment that is your normal saltwater aquarium. The IceCap LunarLites have an aluminum heat sink on the back side of the tube to dissipate what little heat they generate.
Wait till you see what they do for your corals!
LunarLites are highly efficient and very reliable but we know the reason you’ll want them is what they will do to the appearance of the corals. They are designed to excite the green fluorescing proteins in corals. They particularly bring out yellows, oranges, and greens. If you think your corals look good under actinics, you haven’t seen anything yet! Mushrooms, Zoanthids, Ricordea, and most any fleshly large polyp stony corals look amazing under the LED’s.
The LunarLite retrofits ship with mounting clips to secure the LED Tubes to a canopy, commercial hood or existing fixture. The weight should not be an issue because the 2-foot unit is only 4 oz. Power connection to the LunarLite is a power tail with a quick connect to a low voltage power supply, no hand wiring required.
