I believe ReefKoi, ReefFiltration and few other merchants use the same manufacturer out of China - BUT they get to customize the lights to their spec. They get to choose the type and number of LEDS, have some say in the wiring and what types of fans go into the units. The only thing that is the same is the case - ReefKoi and Reeffiltration warranty their own units in house so you wont have to ship to China :) Plus they use higher power and better quality internals (ie. LEDS) than the ones on ebay.

The casing for the imported led's are all basically the same, the inside components are diff. All the factories in China are using these casings which come in black and white. Then they build to your specifications. It makes it easy for them this way, but for us we don't know what has what in it since there are so many of these guys.

Chris was chilling in Dallas/Ft Worth at the Next Wave conference last week showing off his lights and coral. I was standing there when he reduced all his coral from $20 to $10 each and I had to fight it to not buy any since I'm waiting on the same brown truck you are for my lights. Can't wait!

oh ok im on that yeah i found his number online so i left him a message, but im trying to figure out what to get for my 46 gallon bowfront, the issue im having is with a dumb 2 inch wide 2.5 inch wide center brace im worried itrs going to shadow way too much and then have some leds be blocked off. so im considering a g2 since its the longest fixture, also im considering an upgrade to roughly a 3x2x2 tank.

What would be best for a 125g AGA tank 6'by18"by21"? Mostly sps dominated?

Chris, all the corals we got from you, in Tacoma, at the PSAS Swap, are doing amazing!! So, we talked to you there, about LEDs for 2 different tanks, but haven't had a chance to discuss it since. We're wanting to replace the 20" 150W Sunpod, over the 24 Aquapod, with LEDs. We need to be able to grow whatever we want, in the Aquapod. We currently have Zoanthids, Acans, Echinos, on the sand bed, SPS, a few LPS and a T. maxima, up higher. Which fixture would you recommend, for this tank?

I'm also thinking about LEDs over a 40 breeder frag tank, predominately SPS. The 40 breeder is still kind of in the planning stages. When the time comes, which fixture would we wanna look at?
