More or less I am looking for something I can try that is not too expensive that will fill my needs for my tank. Those I was looking at were just what a buddy showed me. If you have any better recommendations the by all means please let me know.
I already have the mechanical timers and would like to have moon lights if possible.
BUT the wife won't let me spend too much on something I might jot even keep in the end, if it doesn't work out for me.

I lost another white LED so soldered in a new one. As a test I swapped the drivers and after a few days I lost another white. The ones that I have soldered in are not the ones going out, it's the originals. I've now lost four whites and zero blues. This makes me think it is the quality of the LEDs.

Planning on getting some D120W led lights, how many would i need for good coverage on a 125 standard 72x18x22? Planning on having mostly SPS corals. I see a lot of people saying they no longer make these and only sell 2040s? I can find the D120s on ebay but have not found anything for 2040s links or some more info would be helpful!
Delta...are you somehow affiliated with Bubbas Guppies? Just curious because their website offers very little info, no real contact or business info and looks like an inexpensive attempt to market the same China stuff we see on other out of country sites. I don't see how you can possibly compare this to ReefBreeders and other AMERICAN companies that provide service, advice, customization, a US address and actual people to talk to. I personally would not send $1000 to Bubbas Guppies based on their "pop up" website. I can put one of those together in 3 minutes.

Thanks that's what i figured
I've done lots of research when it comes to the IT series. One thing I like is they are actually local for me. I've met Martin in person at one of our local club meetings and is great. Former military and trying to support his family. He's even making a way to add an aftermarket controller to the D120's and is gonna start working with Coral Expressions also for that. He's spent 5yrs in the hell-hole and has a tough time these days actually meeting people. One thing I do have to to really say is he knows his stuff. Fixed quite a few 120w units after warranty was up. I'm not making any money from him by putting his name out there. But just giving credit to a man who has spent his 10yr career in the military overseas. We have a meeting once a month for PTSD.....and that man has been through a lot. Because i'm still active duty I can relate to an extent. He is very open to questions if you have them when it comes to his web page and diy sales. I'm just looking out for the Lil guy that's getting shafted by uncle Sam I guess....if you have a warranty issue he'll try and fix it personally before going to the manufacturer. I guess I just support a veteran more than I would anyone else at this point. Plus he can get you the units faster instead of making a bulk order while still being cheaper.

Sponsor
Not true, we are shipping them out from shelton ct atm.
i got mine through a local vendor, exoticreefcreations.com who is also a sponsor on the other major reefing forum. there was a group buy through my local forum and i grabbed a few to check out the new upgrade. here's some info i got from ERC on them that i think is safe to share since it doesn't have pricing and seems like the typical evergrow ads they have out complete with misspellings and all, haha. ERC is awesome to work with and they have a 3-year warranty. they will changing up their website soon to allow for ordering through the site and do all your free customizations online which i think is going to be pretty neat.
and in white i think looks pretty awesome:
Thanks Delta! Since you know him, maybe you could pass along to Martin that a little more personal info on his website would be good. Like I said, looking at the site, there is limited info regarding where he is located, etc. I am sure he is on a limited budget but a little good marketing goes a long way. He also doesnt have anything listed in his return policy and putting something there may increase buyers confidence. Last thing is that he says delivery is from 2 to 12 weeks. Maybe he could periodically post updates letting folks know what average ship time is this time of year, etc.
Is there any way to contact him directy other than filling out the form on his website?
Again, thank you for the info and I will check him out.:thumbsup:
Ok will let him know to update. I know he's working on getting a .com from webs but is limited to 5 items right now but looks good so far. He can be contacted at bubbasguppies@gmail.com . I'll have to check on phone though cause its cell right now n we mainly text.
bend some conduit and secure to your stand for a clean modern look. there's a bunch of DIYs out there.
I got in contact with him and he's been working on the site that will eventually become where the .com will be located. But he's made some of the changes quickly to the envy store through facebook. If you want his number shoot me a pm and i'll give it to you. But if you also wanna check out his site that he's working on its at http://bubbasguppies.webs.com/

I am a complete noob when it comes to lighting and I'm having an issue with one of my Evergrow D120 Led modules.
My blue channel is completely not working even though the power looks to on. I noticed it looked a lot bluer than my other D120 module today so I went to adjust the dimmer and the blue leds immediately shut off and won't turn back on.
I emailed Evergrow but I'm not sure how great of a response I'll get. Anyone got any steps I need to take? Again, I'm a completely rookie with lighting and would appreciate any advice
