You're in luck. We are going to do a video with the Pulse over our 4' office tank very soon! Here is a link to our YouTube channel so you can subscribe or bookmark it: http://www.youtube.com/MarineDepotVideos

I'm looking for a solo fixture with a controller built in, would you recommend this or the maxspect razor? This is a bit cheaper but after adding the hanging kit it's pretty close price wise. I'm usually up for trying new things but when we're talking near $1k it's hard to take a chance without even seeing a pic of one running over an actual reef tank. I have a 75 gallon 48x18x20 I'll be setting up next week so I have to make a decision really soon. Tank will predominantly be sps and lps and be a room divider so rock work down the middle of the tank.

Both the Maxspect Razor and the AquaticLife Pulse are great options. As mentioned, we will have a video review out soon so you can see it running over a tank.

I would simply compare apples to apples and in this case they are pretty close; 12 month warranty, 2 channels of control and built in timer, adjustable frame mounts, comparable output and power consumption.

A couple of differences I noticed was the Razor has x5 different colors and uses brand name LEDs. The Pulse includes x4 colors and offers a lightning effect along with moonlight setting.

I think you will be happy either way and I would feel confident using either on my own tank. Feel free to let me know if you come up with more questions.
