I am looking at purchasing a new led fixture.

Does anyone have any review, info, experience with the acan lighting fixtures?

Any input would be great.
 
I had a 4' acan lighting fixture on a 6' tank and then another 6' tank with 2 evo G1's. The tank with the acan lighting was very dull and def not enough light...that sides were super dark (even though they said it would work out perfect the way I was hanging it). Only thing I would say good about them...the par was higher on the acan lighting than the evo g1. I would NEVER spend the money on that fixture though...I would go with AI's all day long if I was going to spend the money.

sorry to be a bummer, but that's my educated opinion on the fixture.
 
Thank you very much for the honest opinion. I just had a weird feeling about them but there are some good deals on them on eBay right now.

I don't get that warm fuzzy feeling AIs give me from acan lighting. Only reviews I could find were users in new york of which I was told that is where acans headquarters are.
 
Acan lighting let me use 3- 4' blues at macna they saved the show for me my corals looked awsome
And I deff sold more because of them btw some of my palys bleached
With the lights on only 8 hours a day so they r deff high par
 
I have an acan lighting fixture on my Nanocube and the entire tank looks brilliant.. Only time will tell how the coral growth will be
 
I still remember the LED's that RandyO had over his acans altho' I don't remember the name of the manufacturer. The colors were really eye popping!! :smile:
