Just picked up my first frag tank today. Looking for a good/proven fixture. Thank you for your recommendations/experiences in advance.

whats your budget?

I don't need anything crazy expensive...it's just a frag tank, but I am looking for good growth. I don't really have a budget, necessarily. I won't be needing the light for a month or two anyways. I don't have a problem saving for it. So probably something middle of the road on up. I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for!

i had chinese LEDS for months, then just got the maxspect razor 160w 16k a little over a week ago, and my polyps got fatter. figure out what you want, need. and go from there i wanted a timer with good LEDs, and not having to worry about mounting was a bonus for me

Ecoxotic uses 1w LEDs, I would not buy I fixture unless it used 3w LEDs. I have the maxspect razor over my 40g breeder and it's great for a frag tank.

I switched from using the EverGrow D120 (which I thought was a really good fixture) to the OceanRevive Arctic S026 and it's worth way more that the $15 extra I paid for it. And now they are on sale for $175... or $165 if you buy 6 or more! Get a couple of friends together and do a mini group buy. OceanRevive is a sponsor here as well!
Here is a link: Ocean Revive LED

Here are pics of my little 24g frag tank:
