Ledzeal Hybrid options

[ellasae]

I was planning on building a hybrid unit using a Ledzeal Malibu S400 unit with 2no. 80w T5 tubes added for extra coverage.
I emailed Kevin to place my order but was told that the Malibu is discontinued and no longer in stock. He offered the passively cooled Zeus 300 unit ( still 1500mm long ) instead but it's less powerful , 240w versus 320w , so i'm unsure wether it'll be sufficient for my mainly sps 6ft tank. Adding extra T5 tubes isn't really an option as i'm trying to reduce my electric consumption by swapping from an 8 x 80w ATI unit.
Does anyone have any experience with the Zeus units that they'd like to share?

I had them on my old setup. I liked them. There was plenty of par coverage one. 27" deep tank. Zues series has no fans. Also, there is a different led layout on rc somewhere.

That's encouraging to hear, I will specify the custom layout which is on here and also on UR here in the UK which was posted by cwstrife ( gillguy in the US I believe although I may be wrong )
