I am using the Orphek pr 156 on my 100. These guys were great at helping me select the right combo for my tank. I have been very happy with these quality leds.

When I made the plunge for LED's, I was pretty overwhelmed. I asked for suggestions and kept getting conflicting reviews. I opted for the Maxspect Mazarra P-Series and I am glad I went with them. I would just follow your instincts. Both of those fixtures can do well for you.

I just put up my arctic s026 today. I posted my review. Just switched from mh 250w. They're nice if you have a controller. Many people say their sps are thriving under these.

I just ordered the arctic s026 for my 90. Great reviews, great price, slim body !Gonna look awesome above the tank!! I was gonna go with evergrow IT2040 from reef radiance, but I'm on a tight budget , and I really like how slim the s026 is. I'm just gonna put them on a timer for a dusk dawn effect. SOOO STOKED to finally get LED'S ..I'll have to do a review a few weeks in.

what ever you get make sure its full spectrum and you can adjust all colors separately.don't get a light that is just 10k,or 20k. look into how long the company has been around .I have 3 radions over a 120g great lights ,but if I had a canopy I would diy if you are tight on money and just want to change to leds hold off and save to get a quality light

I had my mind made up on the ocean revive arctic so26 but I tried to send my order info in at 7 am and I haven't heard anything all day. I'm starting to think I should go elsewhere. We had great communication until now. Not sure what happened but I ll give him until lunch tomorrow to contact me with a great reason why I shouldn't walk away.

I had great service throughout. Stan's been very good at responding back to me. He will take care of you I'm sure.

aslmx and I have exchanged a couple of PM's and emails this morning. I hope I answered his question adequately.

The reason he didn't get a reply is that unlike our OceanRevive website, Ebay website and Amazon website, this groupbuy isn't part of our 'normal' ordering system so no computer generated confirmations are sent out. All the Group Buy orders get processed by me personally. I check the groupbuy email account 4-6 times everyday... until yesterday (Saturday). I was otherwise occupied for 8 hours (driving) and didn't get to do any groupbuy work. I apologize for any delay in email or PM replies.

Not that anybody cares, or that this somehow excuses my lack of replies, but I drove a Siamese Rescue cat part way to her new permanent home and when I got home I was tired and went to bed. I do this volunteer work for Siamese Rescue because I got my cat delivered from north Florida to me in SW Florida for free by other volunteers 18 months ago. Again, I'm not making this an excuse, just telling you why I wasn't at my computer. Thanks for understanding.

And just to brag a little, here is why I help Siamese Rescue, this is Maia, my cat:

Payment sent on 2 Arctic so26. Im sorry that I didnt see your earlier email about the kitten. I received many pms that you not contacting me wasnt the norm on how you do business. I hope the kitten is doing well and looking forward to my new leds and getting another one in the near future for my 210 gallon. Thanks William
