Anyone using this light on their system?

[Dom]

Shopping for a light to install on my new build. I'm interested in hearing opinions...

Are you using this light? How is your coral growth? Would you recommend this light?

I'm also considering the Kessil AP700, but I'm hoping to save some money.

Thanks in advance.

My girlfriend's mom uses the 165w version and the programming is a bit of a pain to figure out initially and very easy to mess up. But other than that I think it is essentially the same thing as an SB Reef Lights fixture and plenty of folks have had good luck with those, myself included.

Between it and the AP700 though, there's a world of difference. The AP700 is super advanced and has a much larger support network, but of course it is oodles more expensive as well.
