I just received the evergrow Christmas Special. Light looks good but I was kinda bummed with the hanging kit. The kit comes with four cables which are two feet long. Can't hang them unless using a fixture mounted to the tank. Not that big of a deal but now I have to order a hanging kit before I can use the light. More just a heads up for anyone ordering the lights from China.
Thats a great pic.
At only 14" deep, you might be better off removing the optics. It will reduce the disco effect a bit. They twist off easily, and are just as easy to put back on if you don't like it without them.
scott v, how does the color output look when both channels are on at 100%. any spot lighting of the red or green? pics would be great too.
Just a thought, do we really need to have red LEDs in our layout if we use, and I forget which is more red (cool,warm,neutral white) if we use a few of the red tinted, white LEDs? Wouldn't those provide enough of the red spectrum?

It is hard for me to say right now as I can't set it up because of the lack of a hanging kit. I plugged it in and held it above my tank and the color was good. I think I would of preferred a little more blue with both at 100 % but it is dimmable so I'm sure I can find a color combo that works. My fish hid when I cranked it all the way up so I probably wouldn't run it there anyway. I did not notice any spot lighting of the red and green.
My wife tried to take a couple pics but they did not turn out great. I will have to play with the camera once the light is up and find the right setting. What setting are others taking pictures of their tanks with when using DSLR?
I am getting ready to pull the trigger on one of the IT2040 lights. It is for a Current Cardiff aquarium that I will be starting in the coming days. I will continue to go through the dozens of pages to find a recommended layout. I want this to be able to make the colors pop, not have an over saturated blue look, and be able to have good growth.
If you have a template you can link me to or send a PM, that would be great too. Also, which size would be best 18" or 24"?
Thank you
