Great thread! and......glad it has not turned into a big ole debate!!
I have a Red Sea Max and a 34 solona cube both plumed into one sump.
I have a new Radion Pro over the RSM and an Gen 1 over the new Solona.
I'm a big fan of the Radions/LED's. Low heat, low cost to run. no bulb replacement, fuller sprectrum, sleek design,programmability, upgrade ability and great customer service.
Here's a very crappy pic:

I have. 28 nano led. Works great plus no bulbs to replace for about 5-6 yrs can't beat that and heat is a lot less making them better in my opinion
Saw some of those bangs this weekend for some odd reason.

On my 12 gallon aquapod mixed reef I ran 3 TruLumen LED strips, 2 453nm actinic blue and 1 50/50 white/blue.
When I switched to my current 7.5 gallon/12" cube nem/LPS reef I decided to just use one all blue and the one 50/50. Both configurations worked have worked really well, and when one of the strips stopped working they sent me another promptly(and at no cost to me!) and without any hassle.

I just got a RSM 130D and I'm glad to see many thread on RSM owners. The tank is not running yet until I do a few mods. Currently looking into LED's. Question, what are ModularLED's? Can you post pictures underneath the hood? or PM me pics just to get an idea on looks, and what involved to install the ModularLED. Thanks
coralife 29 biocube. Until yesterday I was rocking the stock lights and cheap LEDs that come with it. I upgraded to a nano box reef retro kit for the bio cube. The only DIY with the kit was stripping the hood and installing the heatsink to the reflector. So far my corals and loving it but I don't have anything that is too light intensive. My nem is already looking a bit better, he had started to lose some color in the last month after moving him over from the big tank I am taking down.

I am running the same set-up. Mine had been running since about Jan 1, 2015.
26 Full spectrum LED array
Storm Controller
I love it and so do the corals.

ModularLED either changed names or went of our business completely. I tried looking their website up for another fellow reefer about 2 weeks ago and they are just.. GONE!
I still enjoy my ModularLED system (Mine was the prototype for their RSM lineup) and it still works great and it's controlled by my GHL ProfiLux P3.1EX controller. But since ModularLED are no longer in business (that I can find) I wouldn't suggest going that route LOL!
If I were to do it over again today I would go one of two routes:
* A) My first route would be to retrofit a GHL Mitras LED unit into the hood. They aren't cheap by any means but they are by far the "Bar Setter" in the LED fixture industry. IMHO no other system comes close in terms of features, build quality, or component quality. I'm a little biased towards them but I still believe they are by far the best.
* B) If I didn't do the GHL Mitras I would install StevesLED into my RSM. I installed a StevesLED into my 12g NanoCube here at work a couple of years ago and it's still going strong and has never given 1 ounce of problems. Super easy to install with the 99% kits they have.
Good luck and if you need anything else just drop me a PM and I'll help in any way I can.
