I run 2 16" SB Reef Lights on my 65.

What are your settings ?

Mine are just the basics and the blue dial is 80% and the white is 50%. No ramp. Home depot outlet timers.

Ok. Cool. How deep is your tank?

Go for it. It's so cheap, if you don't like it, you're not out much. Could easily get 60% of your money back reselling, reducing your loss even less.

That said, I love mine and would gladly buy another one.

So you have a standard 65. Not a 65 tall. Lucky.

The "165 watt" or the "300 watt" one?

Oops.. sorry for taking so long. 165W

Following aolong. Looking for options for a 300DD. Have always been a fan of MH, but considering giving LEDs a try for a while if I can do what I want at a reasonable price.
