after all my dilemma about getting Radions or Steve's LEDs, I just pulled the trigger and bought the Steve's LED's 12k option. I looked at MDKs thread and saw he has the 12k and I liked that color, so I will go with that spectrum. (I couldn't find any 14k option) ... I will post pics later on when I get them... hopefully someone can assist in case of anything.

Man i really dont get the attraction to get those leds at all. :/
Don't put doubts in my mind Pedro lol
I researched on another forum where a lot of people own Red Sea and have gone to steves LEDs and are pretty happy with them, hopefully everything will look good. It's cool that I will be able to use my moonlights and everything will fit nicely in my canopy.

I'm serious man. You have come so far and doing great. They don't have a lot of power and not really controllable or have a lot of colors. Isn't each strip like $200 and you need 2 ?
This is what I got.... just instead of being 28 RB and 28W... it 'll have the combination of the 12k. I also got the Typhon Controller to dim channels and simulate sunrise/sunset thing.

so is that one strip ? or what does it look like. also how much $$$ total ?

how wide is the tank ?, the new lenses spread out more on radions. It will work fine especially if you want to keep your hood and the clean look.
my tank is 38 x 21 x 26.2”. There is one guy I talked to from Australia and he switched to 1 Radion Pro, but you can tell that it barely covers (even with Wide angle lens)... I wanted something like Maxspect but wife said no... she wants the canopy to be closed. so I thought about mounting radions.... I was about to get a sweet deal but vendor sold them to someone else.... so I ended with Steve's LEDs, which they fit nicely in the RSM tanks... and from the looks I've seen, i do like it... but I liked the radions a bit better... but I know for the money I spent they are a good option.

yeah the hood is the issue, well keep up the good work and keep us posted.
We'll I'm not sure if it's a common thing for steves LEDs, almost 3 days and I haven't even heard a thank you for purchasing the kit email. If I don't hear anything by tomorrow I will call paypal and cancell the order... This is disappointing ... I'm not sure if other people who bought this kit wait forever for some sort of contact by steves LEDs
Yup, full spectrum according to steves LEDs.... I'm also on another forum where there are a bunch of guys with Red Sea aquariums and they all are pretty happy with these LEDs, I was talking to some of them and they have heard similar things that at times it takes a while for hear back from steves LEDs...
This is what I got mike
