With optics, I went for 90's on everything except red which used 120's. My tank is 72 x 24 x 24, but is unfortunately still empty. I am currently running the lights over the empty tank to try and get an idea on colours etc.
 
Hi guys i'm having 3 x S150 setup,
Uv==B==Uv
B==B==B==B
W==W==W
B==B==B==B
W==W==W
B==B==B==B
Uv==B==Uv
Will i have too much Uv?
Uv is using 120deg and the rest 90deg

I would change some Blue for Royal Blue and yes I think you might have to much UV. I would do 2 per light bank max, seeing as you have 3 fixtures you might even get away with 1 on each bank, how big is your tank?

I'm having a 7ft x 2.5ft x 2.5ft tank.
I just change them and i do not have any royal blue. I'hv change the Uv to channel 4 so i can control the Uv. But after i changed them from original with the green and red, corals seems to open up nicer.
 
If you look back (I don't know what page at this point) I posted a pic of the gillguy layout next to my 14k mh . The gillguy layout is a lot bluer for sure but I have grown to like it.
 
Its alive finally got the new tank filled yesterday and fired up the s400 for good now no more testing lol. This is one sleek fixture totally dig it!!!!

I have been reading this thread for days now and have decided to take the plunge and get some of these lights. I was hoping you could give me some advice on which model to get.
I have a aqua reef 400. I have lps, softies and one day sps.
I have no idea on what custom layout to get. So some help with that would also be great.
Thanks in advance.
 
I just sent kevin a payment for two S200's with gillguys layout. It was a bit pricy after paying for the light, then the controller and shipping and paypal fees my god. all said and done came out to 750.00 shipped to las vegas

$750 is a lot of money but look at the power you are getting compared to the other known brands. For the same amount of power you would have spent at least twice the price. You'll love these lights.
 
A month (4 weeks) inand I couldn't be happier with these lights, corals are great, tank hasn't looked better ramping the settings each week.

Only thing I would maybe, and only maybe do is increase my blue in exchange for a few less royal blue, and cut out two UV on each fixture but nothing I cant live with, luckily I have soldering iron and a few spare blues so if it gets to me I will change it lol.

Gillguy, special thanks mate, I know it's been said al lot by many, but seriously a huge thanks for your advice/assistance along the way, I have many aussies looking at these lights now.
