I do have a guy who can get me retail prices so I will go through him if I do a80. But the a80 is only good for sps at 14x14 area.

I like the shimmer. It doesn't have that disco ball effect that I've seen on some others. However, it's definitely not anywhere near as good as metal halide (one of things I loved when I ran them) or the kessil.
I just setup the A80 and love it!
I went from AI Prime -> cheap LEDs -> A80. First impressions of A80 is that I love the simplicity. Two knobs and done - Kessil takes care of the proper spectrum. The shimmer does not disappoint. Now I understand what everyone is raving about. The build quality is so much better than the AI Prime. The fact that it's a fan-less LED is awesome but it can get away with that because it's underpowered compared to other LEDs. However for my 10 gallon nano it's perfect. When I first installed the light it was on 100% intensity and literally minutes later my hammer and frogspawn started shrivel. Had to decrease the intensity way down then corals started to plump back up. Didn't realize corals can be that sensitive. It's now running in acclimation mode on the controller for 14 days.
Build your own will be at or under $100 and get the color you want! Rapid led sells everything you need. Super simple and customer service for questions or help is on point.
Not sure what I missed...I certainly didn't flame anyone, just gave my take on the shimmer of the lights that I currently run...It's okay, but not a kessil shimmer.Welcome DH...I have never seen anyone on this site flame anyone else...
@DH-Reef, I am sorry. I didn't mean to insinuate that you did. I was just trying to be welcoming and got a little wordy.Not sure what I missed...I certainly didn't flame anyone, just gave my take on the shimmer of the lights that I currently run...It's okay, but not a kessil shimmer.
