Hey guys, need some help. Im looking to add more power to my 90 gallon which currently has 2 ai primes. My question is are the marsaqua and the euphotica the same? Or which is better?, for any of you who use one of there of know of someone else who has them, would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I don't use any of those brands but I have 2 Chinese black boxes 3w leds. They are very good use them at only 20% blues and 10% whites. Growing all kind of corals.

Look at the led boards design and you will get an idea on how they place the leds for better spectrums.

I paid $129 last year.

PS. It has 5w bulbs not 3W like I mentioned before.

I've been happy enough with my MarsAquas (one 300w over a 65 for a year, now joined by a second over a 220), but know nothing of the Euphotica.
