I can't slow it down that much,unless I use the multi timer function on the RK2... I'm using it to light the whole tank and it seems to be doing the job well... Fish seem to follow the light some times.. This also the reason why I got small fish I figured they would acclimate better to the rail, after hearing that it stress' fish out.... It's just something you have to see in person..

maybe the corals and fish may interpret the light as the sun being passed through the clouds rather than going through the day/night cycle who knows maybe some unexpected benefit (staying optimistic) will come out of this.

At some point I would love to incorporate something like this canopy lift into my light scheme in addition to hooking up the sliding rail, maybe a little too overboard, but we'll see only time will tell

Anyway, Good luck things

This canopy lift is so cool.

Ding ding ding... You're today's lucky winner that was the original purpose of the rail to simulate clouds and also give corals that all around color instead of the one side I was getting before... My only real question is will 400 watts be enough to hold on to my color...

Oh yeah that canopy is sick... I need that too..

One toy at a time Tobin.

Oh, okay...

Take some pic's and the beginning of the process, and refer back to them later, if you notice coloration has gone south or stunted growth then you might have the answer to your question later on?

The canopy lift according to the guys website cost around $200-$250, the weight of the canopy will determine the components needed for the build
