Can anyone confirm this? I'm looking to cover a 36Wx24Lx27H area with a single NOVA A8 instead of doing a IT2080 for the same area...

I really want to put the 32" RB on my 75gal reef
I would go with the RB Photon 48. I have a 72 Bow and that's what I have. It provides excellent coverage!

If you 75G is 48" go with the RB Photon 48. I have a 72 Bow that is 48" and I went with the Photon 48. It has awesome coverage!
So I have my Photon 16 with 90 degree optics over my biocube 29 for a week now. I love the color output and the way my clam looks under the light. Few things though that I need answers to:
1 - I have this 6" over my tank currently at Channel 1 45% and channel 2 35%
2 - My torch and hammer coral appear to be unhappy since the change, they are on the sand bed.
3 - My brain coral on the sand bed looks like it is starting to bleach a little.
What suggestions can you make to help resolve my issues.

your lights are too bright too quickly. With your fixture only 6 inches over the tank and 90* optics, I recommend lowering your blues to 30% and your whites to 10% to start. This level should only be maintained for 4-6 hrs and tapered up to and away from those levels pre and post. I'd run this for the next 2 to 3 weeks before I raise it any higher, then I'd raise it by 5% per week until you hit about max 50% blues and 30% whites. You'll probably never need to take it higher then this.

What is the difference between the reef breeders Value and the Evergrow? Evergrow used to be ordered from china but now there's a supplier in the states and reef breeders value people said was the evergrows, but in pictures they're different, especially with the LED colors. Anyone shed some light on this for me? Need a light for a 65g.

They are the same, one has a logo stamped on it and has a limitted supply of leds

Weird, I wonder why they show different pictures of LEDs? The reef breeders doesn't have the greens the evergrows have according to the pics.
This is the evergrows from eBay
And this is the reef builders from their website
Still the same fixture? The pictures are misleading then.

Getting more and more interested in these lights. Does anyone have any pics of a Photon32 on a standard 75g tank? I know they make a 48" fixture, but I would prefer to put a smaller sized fixture like the phonton32 over my tank. I just like to keep things at a minimum, but if will not work or be sufficient I would really like to know. I'm mostly softies and LPS, but would like to get into SPS here and there.
hey guys new to forum and based in perth Western Australia, I have been trying to find some good contenet on led set ups without paying the price of a small car and the it2080 looks like its right down my street...question
1) I have an aquareef 400 dimensions 132cm long, 52cm wide and 73cm deep, is the light going to cut it or would 2 be required and at this depth what lens...I was thinking 90
2) think it will have been asked before but if light is adequate for my tank what light setup would be best used for a mixed reef.
thanks for the great thread guys im sure ill continue to learn heaps from it

Ron, the Photon48 is made exclusively for Reef Breeders, that is why OR does not carry it, because they can't. We created the Photon48 based on customer feedback with the Photon32, the majority of user could not properly cover a 48" tank with the photon 32. There was major shadowing on the ends, and on top of that, the center moonligh was blocked out. The Photon48 solves both of those issues, and allows the possibility to upgrade to a 5 foot long tank without changing your light.

1) The tank measures a bit over 4 feet (120cm), so I would reccomend the photon48.
2) Our default layout has worked very well for the majority of our customers, but a custom layout can be done

Ron, thanks for the feedback. I have a 75g rimless tank so perhaps the moonlight on the center wouldn't bee much of an issue, but I don't like the possibility of shadowing on the ends. That's why I was hoping to see an actual picture or get some solid feedback from someone with the fixture. I know someone on here has to have a photon 32 on a 48" tank. Come on!! :headwallblue:

Does anyone have any pictures of a ValueLED or Photon16 from Reef Breeders over a cube tank? Did you change the LED layout or request different optics? I would really like to see the color it puts out. Thanks
