5 months or so on my D120's and loving them too. Will be modding them for 0-10v control soon. Wanted to make sure there working well before I open them up. And 2 over my 60" tank is ok, but not enough if you have SPS etc. I'm a softie tank

I ordered an IT2080 this morning from Reef Supply Canada. I'm very excited to receive it and set it up. I have scoured the Internet and have not been able to find any bad reviews. I don't think it's the most attractive fixture but I don't want to spend twice the amount for aesthetics.

My lights arrived today. They're for a new project I'm working on so it'll be a few weeks before I actually mount them. But I couldn't wait to check them out and give them little test.

WOW! Holy crap! Is that ever bright! I'm pretty new to the saltwater hobby so I didn't really have a point of reference other than the Current USA fixture I have on my FOWLR. You can't compare the two fixtures. The Evergrow obviously is in a totally different postal code.

For fun I took the Current USA off the tank and then held the Evergrow above it. In just the few seconds that I held it there I was amazed at how natural it looked. My Current USA is quite cool in terms of colour. I don't really like it but hey, it is what it is.

Anyways so far I'm super happy with it. Gives me some additional motivation to get this new 150 up and at 'em.

Just wondering what you guys think about using a D120 on a 18x18x12d coral quarantine tank. I've Diy d all my other lights but really don't have the time to build a new fixture.

I have the D120's I have 3 over a 72x20x20 tank and the corals love it and grow like mad. Just be sure to set them low and slowly ramp up, I burned out a few corals when I first got them.
