What I don't want to see is people generally getting down on LEDs and perpetuating the idea that LEDs are no good and won't grow corals etc. because of negative experiences with lower end fixtures.

I agree, ever since I read about the Solaris I knew LEDs were the future.
People are starting to come around. I remeber all the nay saying a few years ago but that comes with any new inovation. I find with a hobby like reefing, people tend to just parrot and believe what others say and use that as the ONLY way to do things.

ReefOcean, are you in the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows area? If so I may be able to come out and do some PAR readings for you. Would be curious to see the unit in the flesh.

Yeah, of course. In a few weeks after I get everything under control with the other thigns I need to do we can work it out.
