Vertex illumina 260

[moosehead]

Is the vertex illumina 260 any good for growing sps? I have a 120 48x24x24 and this is a 48" fixture. Anyone got any experience with these fixtures would love to here your thoughts ...thanks alot.
My current fixture is a 8x54 tek.would the led be better?

I currently have a Vertex Illumina SR360 with 5 auxiliary modules over my tank. The few SPS I've added have had good polyp extension, but I honestly haven't really noticed much growth at this time.

thanks for the reply, so the 260 wouldn't be worth me purchasing

I had the 200 over a tank with a Ritteri. It supported the nem so the 260 should be fine for SPS. Being said, I'd go with the TEK. Pretty sure Illuminas are discontinued, not sure how much support you would get if there was an issue with the fixture.

Yes good point

Best photo I have of the fixture over my tank. There's an obvious lack of coverage towards the ends, but as long as you account for your tank dimensions you'll find it's a great light.

Also Vertex is now in Huntington Beach, CA and I haven't had problems with support.

I love my sr260. Its on my 525 Gallon. No issues, although haven't been running it that long. Will post a pic in the morning
