Growth post by owner was on 3/10.

The fixture would appear to be on the tank for some time greater then 10+ days by the time of the post.

I was going by what soundwave said that

"On a side note, I got home from Wisconsin a few minutes ago and noticed some pretty decent new growth on my green monti that didn't do any growing under my PCs. I hope this trend continues."

I assume he saw growth from the time he left and when he came back was less then a week.

By the way I review all "available data" be it bad or good...... It's the interpretation of this data which usually leads to a bad conclusion.

All I offered was some opinions of the design that I saw was flawed. Here is a list of problems that I see so far whether you agree or disagree :

1. Total LED count per 24" is not enough for high PAR.
2. LED driver will not provide the current required.
3. Fan airflow should be perpendicular to heatsink cooling fins.
4. LEDs are can not be removed easily from heatsink.
5. Light must be placed close to the surface of the water because of the lack of optics.

All these problems can easily be fixed but soundwave and it seems most on this thread don't want to hear it......
