Who uses reef breeders led

Also is the photon 24 just overkill for my tank?

You would do well with a photon24 with 90s

Ok well I just made my purchase for the photon 24 90 optics

Just ordered a Photon 16 for my 29g BioCube. Can't wait to see what my tank and corals will look like under these lights!
Hope I get them soon.

Nice good luck to everyone :)

Why aren't these sold at premium aquatics or marine depot? Do they have a rule where you have to be the manufacturer of the lights or something?

I mean they carry kessils and ai and others which are probably much smaller companies then the big Chinese factories.

Good question, and I'm sure the answer lies somewhere in the region of maximizing profit and mark ups. Or probably more likely the fact that reef breeders doesn't have every product in stock at all times so many people going through those huge retailers would be ****** off when they order a light and realize it won't be in from china for another 2-3 weeks after the point of purchase and then finally be shipped. Great product but I will say the fact that they aren't continuously in stock and ready to ship ASAP is an issue for some people, including me.

That sounds like the case, I think it would be really cool though to have some budget fixtures at those bigger online retailers. Although now I kind of doubt that they would be selling for so cheap since everyone would be taking a cut from the cost.

If I'm not mistaken, the lights don't come all set up, don't they build them to order? I've seen the same light under a different name with different led setup, which leads me to believe they are just buying the casing and stuff empty then putting them together? Ihavenoidea tho

I'm hoping to get mine soon, seeing as how they appear to be based in ct and I'm in ma.

No, we order them with our layout. We have the value units and photon24s in stock.

How long would shipping take to Ohio for a the smallest value unit?
