I bought two of them a few months back, my first lights ever. I love the shimmer too! Let me know how your corals do under them in a few months. Are you going to be running just the LEDs or an additional light for some UV?

I really like them so far, and the corals are doing great. Slowly ramping them up to acclimatize the corals. Started at 50% the first day , then 10% increases daily until I get to full maximum

Much, much slower my friend. What seems dim to our eyes with LEDs is often bright enough for the corals (especially if we're used to seeing MH lights).

Ok, will keep it at 60% for a week before moving up. Thanks
