Default Show Off your Evergrow LED powered tanks

I'm contemplating on getting an Evergrow LED fixture (maybe a D120 or IT2080) and wondering how many folks here are running Evergrow LED fixture on their tanks. Please post some pics preferably FTS and indicate how long have you been running the lights on.

I run the evergrow nova a8. Had it up almost two years now i think. Runs around 30% blues 30% whites. Pics are pretty ****ty as i do neglect my tank since im never around but ive been getting great sps growth. Rbta was pushing 14" and fully bubbled. Lps grow like mad.... Guess my issue is stuff grows TOO well with these lights. Its a pain to keep up with when stuffs growing so fast its continually stinging each other.

I got 2x IT2080 on my 72x24x30 tank and I think that was the best purchase I have made. Corals and enem. love it. I highly recommand.

I bought D2120 2 weeks ago, hanged it over my 57G tank together with my existing T5 fixture, what a huge difference in color. The pair of T5s lessens the disco ball effect.

Very happy with my purchase.

I'll post some pics after the acclimation.

Default evergrow

I joined the evergrow club yesterday. Put up a IT2012. looks good, colour blend seems good, no real disco effect. It is hanging next to a ATI powermodule 8x54 and I can say it is equal is brightness to that fixture, which really did surprise me. Got the custom set up done after a bit of fussing around. Real instructions would be helpful.
will post pics later.
