thats not true....most higher wattage LEDs will produce the shimmer....my Radion shimmers even with only the "royal blues"running at 3%

yea there's a bunch of LEDs that provide the shimmer effect...
+ "you would probably need just two" does not sound very encouraging... more like I could probably get away with using only three.
the big question would be if I could get a complete system for about 1k cad that would deff be nice otherwise they will be cast in the same category as the radions :(

To grow "majority of corals" all you need is two of these for about $320 +shipping and no need to spend $1500.

They are 3W LED's and this will be plenty of light for 48"x18" tank.
If you want it to be more blue you can get one of these and zip tie it to the central brace of the tank just above the surface horizontally.

You can't dim or control these but hey, no need to spend big $$$ ether.
New LED's are popping out like mushrooms almost every 2 weeks now LOL.
You never know what will come out next and what will get obsolete soon. So why invest so much in something so rapidly evolving?

Hey guys,

For what it's worth I'm running the Mazarra S series on my 20 gal. I really like them and didn't feel like I spent too much, as they do what I need and they are easy to program, colors are great. I wish I could have gotten the P series for a bit more color adjusting, but they are good enough to grow pretty much anything.

However, I am going to bo converting to a Radion setup...when the wife doesn't notice...lol

I have 2 AI Sol Superblues on my 90. Shimmers like no tomorrow.

ya most of us know that already some are still left behind. good growth from your sols too?

Honestly. Ai sols are the best balance between quality ,features and price.

And they grow corals like crazy. I've had more sps growth in 5 months with sol
LEDs than I had in 1 year with metal halides

I would personally stay away from these "EVO" strips, they look to me like a "Made in Mexico" type of cheap Marineland knock off, and even marineland isnt up to par for saltwater..
i know I have only had mine for a short type, but my zoas seem to love my leds, I have more growth (even with the crash) in the last 2 months then i did in 6 in my old nano under t5s.

I have a couple more weeks to decide but I'm still on the edge.
could I get away with 2 Mazarras P series in a 90g (48/18/24)?
