It's a sweet fixture, check out the owners thread if you haven't already. I learned the hard way with the LEDs. They are powerful. My solution was to remove the reflectors, very happy with the results.

Thanks Omar. Its going to be a while but so far I've accumulated some really nice equipment. Still need some things. I'm a bit tapped out at the moment.

I still need-

1. 3 x Multi Swirls
2. 2 x 60" Reef Brite Tech Blue
3. MP60 or possibly one of the newer Maxspect Gyres.
4. 200 Gallon Poly Tank- Tall Cylinder
5. Sand
6. Probably a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting.

Do you still need the reef brite even though you have LEDs in your fixture?

Well I want at least one for the front side of the fixture. I guess I'm not sure if totally necessary but I'm a fan and I would probably just run it late in the evenings. The fixture is only 20" but the tank is 36" and although they recommend the fixture for tanks up to 36"... you know how that goes.

I'm also planning to get 60" reefbrites for my tank. With your experience with this LED, would you recommend going with the XHO version rather than the Tech? or please advise me the difference between the two. thanks.

The techs provide a little more shimmer as they have less leds so I am going with those.

If you are looking for more something brighter with more par, then go with the xhos.

I would definitely recommend getting the dimmer or using your apex as they are powerful and can bleach your corals if you don't acclimate them properly.

What ATI LED Powermodule did you get cody? 6 or 8 bulb? The 8 bulb should cover 36" width just fine, the 6 bulb may be a stretch. The LEDs on the fixture also have pretty good coverage by themselves and covered my 30" depth well too. Just depends on how high you hang them. I would say Reef Brites with this fixture would be kind of redundant given the LEDs in the powermodule already, but I guess it would depend on how many bulbs your fixture has.
