Thanks very much for your reply . We're looking at a 24 inch light and it looks like we can still get a new photon pro from the website . Quite a bit cheaper tooI run RB' on 2 systems.
2 50's on one
1 24 on the other.
If you can find a used photon and want a quality light at a discount then a used photon is a good option.
If money is not an issue get the Meridian.
I will be using the Meridian bars on another build shortly.
My ext 170 and rs 170
Support is definitely important but I can still get a new photon pro from the website . Do they use the same app?I'm running two photon v2 pros over my SPS tank and have no complaints. They've been over the tank about 2.5yrs.
More white
I have a meridian 11 over my IM20 and also have no complaints. I've only had the light for a few months and it's a new tank so I can't really comment on coral growth but my clams seem happy enough and I'm getting 350 - 400 par on the ones up high.
Tank as it is now
If I were buying new I would go with meridians. Reefbreeders support is awesome also which is important to me.
I'm pretty sure they both will run on the same app but I have heard of someone having trouble connecting a newly purchase photon to the new app but I don't know the details. Maybe reach out to @Reef Breeders to verify. I'm using the old app on my photons and the new app on the meridian. I like the new app better and it's my understanding I can migrate to the new app with my photons but i haven't bothered yet.
If you can get it at a better price, I would not be afraid. I only have a 24" RB Photon but I love it. I honestly can't think of needing anything else.
Thanks for this but he doesn't ship to Canada
The Photon worked out about $300 Canadian cheaper. Thanks again for your help
