I checked out reefbreeders photon 48’ series…for 499 figure it will be hard to beat, but want to check around first maybe i can find a good used deal!..Tank is 75gal 48"L … anyone got some fixtures they want to get rid of?
Did you check with Mike at the Fish Bowl? He once told me that when and if I wanted to upgrade to LED to check with him he gets good deals on them. Not sure what he considers a good deal but would be worth a shot to ask him.
For that price you can just about get a raidon . IMO best led in the market. Or two Chinese led dimmable lights and still save over $150

The radion would be ideal IMO also but this price is for the whole 48" fixture. Radion he would need at least 2 units.
I have a set of AI Sol blues I might sell with my tank.
anyone?
Reef radiance has a sale going on till Sept. 1st. I’m going to try to get my LEDs from them if I can scrounge some cash together in time.

Thinking of ordering…anyone have any input before i pull the trigger?
I did some reading on Reef Central about them and all of the reviews and comments I’ve read are all positive. Plus they come standard with a 2 year warranty and give you the option to purchase an extended warranty. Excellent customer service from what I’ve read as well.
I’m going to go with 2 of their DM155e’s - hopefully before their sale ends. If you order from them, post up your thoughts and experiences.
Well i just got off the phone with Rick the owner, i think i am going to go with the Lumentek Pro 120’s … he offered 2 of them to me for 498.00 shipped, they come with the programmer and all … This area is password protected what ya think before i hit the buy button? lol
For $498, I’d be on it. He’s giving you more of a discount than what’s advertised. I wonder if he’ll do the same with me. Hmmmm.
Call him…he is a pleasure to talk to…only thing i dont like is the fixture is only 4 rows instead of 5 like the others…but he assures me its more than enough…2 fixtures would be 80 3w LEDs … should be more than enough to grow anything i want right?
Ya know I didn’t notice there were only 4 rows instead of 5. But - there are 80 3w LEDs in there, it’s fully programmable, and since your tank is a 75, it’s only 18" deep. I’d be all over that.
There’s another guy that was local to me in Virginia Beach before I moved here. His website is www.ajmreefled.com he sells basically the same thing but it has 5 rows of LEDs but he doesn’t give a discount on the programmable ones and they’re $300 a pop.
I would do it if I wanted programmable, but I don’t really care about that so I’m going to go with the cheaper ones from radiance. I mean - $300 for 2 fixtures - I don’t care what kind of lighting anyone prefers, it’s an awesome deal.
Some of us club members did order from ajmreefled before and I believe they were happy with it, include myself. They were not programmable ones, but they were full spectrum ones. And they also do discount if you buy multiples fixtures.
Welp i ordered 2 of the Lumentek pro 120s … will post pics when they arrive.
I talked with Rick this evening - nice guy, on his way to MACNA right now. I mentioned you ordering your units the other day and he remembered you.
Pulled the trigger on my (2) 155e’s - can’t wait to get them.
He is a top notch guy, i just got a email that he sent out my refug light and clamp. I told him not to worry about it until he got back in town…So far customer service is unmatched
