Does that mean you are using a Reeftech fixture? Start this thread off if you are...

Jeff from AquaworldPSC should probably come on here. He loves them. Somewhere on here is a study he did with them on growth of sps over several months.

 

[Jenzifer]

Yes I am using them. I used the 2011 model for a year..with great sucess..and just upgraded to the 2012 model a little over a month ago..love it! These are just way more powerful than the Radion..and built much better in my opinion...here is a pic of my tank.

that would be awesome if he did post those..that is my one regret..i dont have a progression shots over the last year at all because my camera was broken. Just got a new one though so hopefully the next few months ill have some new updates to show the difference.

Wow Jenzifer, nice tank! Great growth and color. How deep is your tank and what model Reeftech are you using? Looks like a perfect fit.

Hey Editour2, your tank looks great, plenty of room for coral growth. What are the dimensions? Do the three lights give you the coverage and par you need?

My display tank is a 215 gal Oceanic Ultimate (front starphire glass). Dimensions are 72" long x 24" front to back x 28" top to bottom. I am currently running the lights at 30% white and 70% blue and royal blue. Corals all seem to be thriving...even the orange digi sps placed at the bottom of the center rock.

When you had the 2011 prometheus what %'s were you running the whites, blue and royal blues? What %'s are you currently running the 2012 model?

I just bought 3 of the Prometheus 2012 units and going to set them up but here are some pictures of the units themselves. I will post more pics once they are installed.

 

[Editour2]

How big is your tank? Are those the 20" prometheus or longer?

 

[Fryman]

The reeftechs are awesome, Fry wants. They are the lights to get if price is no object.

Hard to find, kinda specialty/custom equipment for the rich reefers. As I understand it they are like 2x the price of radions, which are already at the high end of the price range for LEDs.
