Zack,
Go with the Reefbreeders unit! Its totally affordable, NO DISCO EFFECT and you can upgrade it later on if you feel so inclined.
I have 2 sets of them on my customers tanks and they are awesome! I just ordered the Photon 32 for my new build.
I actually own a PAR meter and have used these lights. And ATI or German products you purchase your paying for the currency exchange rate, and a boat load of taxes!
Not even close to being worth it in my opinion...........

What kind of optics? 60,90,120? Also will the 32 cover my entire 48 inch tank with ought hanging them exceptionally high?
 
Ryan,
YOU answered your own question buddy! I made the thread because all I have experience with is the reefbreeders!!!
Everything you buy is ALWAYS THE BEST. Because YOU own it!!! Well, you have gone through a lot of leds and blown a lot of money.
I like to think I am a little smarter then that....................

I'm out almost nothing to have tried all my lights. The lights I do buy is to give honest real world feedback.

I've seen a lot of the Chinese stuff as people out here love their low price. However, I've never seen a single tank with them that I'd ever call my own. Blue and white LEDs leave so much on the table. At least customize them with more colors.

You don't know what your talking about Ryan. Your statements are very opinionated and one sided.
Reefbreeders have Violets, blues, whites, reds and greens..........
Go to www.reefbreeders.com and check it out for yourself Zack. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND LET US KNOW........
I can tell you the PAR is there........
 
It does have all the colors needed. I think they just recently took the green out of some of the models. Possibly all.
There's a lot of people on here that will post inaccurate information. Its done ALL THE TIME!!!
Just research what they spew..............

Again, I've checked them out. I've seen more than one tank under them. They are less than impressive.

I'd like to know how my views are one sided? I've recommended multiple brands and solutions in this thread. But you're right, that's me being super one sided.

PAR is about 10% of the story. I'll let you research that though since I'm sure I'm wrong on that front too. I'd hate to mislead thousands of people. Sure glad you're here saving the world.
