Hard to say, I would need to see them, but they look like they maybe good.

what do you think would be better for my set up?

2 of the 212 watt units or 2 of the 141 watt units?

im just not sure if the 2 212 units (424 watts) would be to much for my tank, im thinking yes but not sure.

my current lights are a 48" tek t5 8 bulb unit at 432 watts total. thanks for your input.

What is the size and dimensions of your tank?
 
do you mind me asking what you payed for one of the nova units??

$230

That new Tao you linked to and the Nova A6 are almost the same unit, except the Nova one is dimmable. The Nova A6 would be $293 shipped I think I was quoted.

Two of these or the older models would both work great. Its up to you to decide if you want the extra improvements of the newer models for a higher price.

Very nice. I agree, the dimmer option is a very nice one to have. I'm even going to try wiring in my own controller for sunrise/sunset.
 
Ian, your last photo appears extremely blue. Is that from the camera, or how it really looks? I am still trying to decide between 1:1 ratio and a 30:25 ratio. Thanks! Looks great!

What kind of blues are they? I wonder if you could do a 25 white 25 blue and then 5 royal blue for the extra pop in the corals .... Don't know if that would make much of a diff ... Also if they would let you customize it that much... What brand leds are in your units?

That last pic did look very blue to me also but I thought it was just the pics
 
The picture doesn't look right...

Nah these are pictures from my phone... The full doesn't look right in the picture...
This fixture is a little blue... That's what I wanted... But they can be adjusted to whatever color I want...
