After the initial set up and run ,...I took another more detailed look today.

They are quite a bit brighter than my T5's,...I did a side by side comparison and there is no doubt. I have actually turned them down to 70-75%.

I also noticed that all of my LPS are more full today, more fleshy, and better polyp extension on the sps. Not sure if this has to do with the light or not.

The colors are alot more vibrant and I love the shimmer.

There is a little color separation at the edge of shadows I noticed but only very small patches. Hardly noticeable.

Only real issue I've had is that the LED's shine almost directly where the optimum viewing angle is. I have made a makeshift canopy to block the glare so it doesn't bother me.
If the manufacturers extended the cover down on the front of the unit at a 45 degree angle it would solve this issue and wouldn't block any useable light.

All in all I am pretty happy with my investment already and I am looking forward to seeing the growth results.

I got my fixture yesterday. Aside from a few quality control issues which I can get past im happy so far.

The fixture is very slim and nice looking over my tank. I was happy to see the cable come out the back of the fixture instead one end like in the pre production designs.
