Good article. I checked out the website for those LED's. I may just spend my March 30th budget on these to test out vs. my rapid-Led setup.
The other notes I should have added, is what I was told you need 1 foot of lights for each 10 gallons of water and it runs about $100 a foot, the other note is that this guy previously worked for the number one company and has branched off on his own. The demos I saw had them setting on top of the tank and I know he had a hanging kit, they are sleek and modern each tube really wantn't any bigger than the space needed for a T5 with reflector.
Well. I almost pulled the trigger on this fixture too. I talked to their CEO and he knows his stuff. However, I just ordered an Evergrow D120. Ultimately I opted for the lower price. I customized my layout to include uv, violets, reds, and greens. Rather than going with just blues and whites. I'll keep everyone informed of the tanks progress.

I hate to say this but I used his advice on spectrum to come out with my layout. Unfortunately for them this fixture was 200% more expensive than the Chinese d120. For their price, I could have even purchased an ai sol. In a few years as technology increases and prices decrease, I might purchase a more expensive fixture. In my opinion I think it is too early to make that large of a purchase when the industry is moving so rapidly. I personally feel like any fixture will be outdated within a year.

I thought the info presented by Dana on the benefit of using a variety of colors was important for anyone considering LED no matter what compny they buy from.
Someone with a nano cold water tank had them build him 2x 4inch fixtures for it ad was in love with them. I liked the design and the way the heat sinc is the housing itself.
Here is a pic of the layout. I used a matrix pattern. I've read that the leds are easily replaced if you aren't happy with the look. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
