Not really discontinued, they just have so much output for the area that they cover that they never really caught on. Each one put out i think 240watts and covers around 24"x36" which is quite alot more light then almost anyone with a tank less then 4ft deep needs. SO as opposed to getting one and running it at 20-30% most people would rather get one that is more spread out and can run in a higher range and also cover more area for the same $.

I think the 2012 is perfect fize for a 5ft tank and can be used on 4ft if you don't mind a bit of spillage over the sides of tank.

Yes there is a new light with some cool options coming down the pipe. But they have been working on it about a year now and it keeps getting pushed back every time they find a new option to add or internal component that can be better. SO i don't expect to see them for at least 3-6months. When they are finalizing the new design i should get one around a month ahead of time and will run it to see how it goes and let everyone know it is getting close at that point.

I will email you the layout when i am back in office later and for now you can just check the product listing as it should have the layout (at least color wise and # of what color). Will send exact layout so you can see where everything sits when i get a chance today.

Hope this helps.

After reading this forum and seeing Steve and Palmer's evergrow set ups I think I will order a couple of these lights to play with over my display.

Thank you to everyone who supplied input.

Default Tank mount options

My Maxspect G2 (3 years old) just had its fan die and I am thinking of getting an Evergrow D120. I have no canopy. What are the options for mounting the D120 on rails on top of the tank.

Was considering 2 customized. Now I see that the IT2012 might just suit my needs for a 60x26x24 tank. Do they output same power as the a8's? Enuf spread to cover tank? Thoughts?

Planning to house SOS as well once tank is built.

Nick: anyway you can send me the layout of your full spectrum IT2012? Just Pam's you my addy.

I hear rumours Evergrow is coming out with a new series of lights soon...

Well I bit the bullet and ordered a couple IT2060 off of Nick @ Reef Supply Canada.

I am just counting down the days until they arive!

Well I have had my custom Ever Grows up for a month and everything is working out great! I love the colors I picked out for them (with Eli's help). They are mostly blue and purple and a few whites. 5:1. I tried taking a picture but it doesnt really look right. I would recomend these lights, and Nick.
