I'd say that the light probably is not enough to keep the colors. Sustain, maybe. Thrive, different story. BTW, your Ca doesn't need to be that high

Welcome to the world of brownapora (named by Kien)

Ecoxotics are mostly supplemental lights. The possibly can sustain upto montis but atleast not acros. They have big ego. Just like Brad said, they have "mood".

I have to agree with you,it's bit on the high side regarding my leds,i've always have doubt that they wouldnt not be enough for my corals to thrive.just needed a fellow reefer to point that out,i guess what are your thoughts regarding the AI Vega and the Radion Gen2/pro? im spending my x-mas bonus wisely and purchase either one of the three,just unsure atm which one.

You should open up a thread for that. There are people who swear by AIs and other swear by Radions. And The new craze is Mitras. I am no expert and that's all I know :P A new thread should fetch some good debate.

WARNING: Get ready to be confused because the world of LEDs are all dark, controversial, technical and expensive!

Or better yet use the search thread. It's an old topic and probably no need to start another thread.

UPDATE!!!i've recently contacted Ecoxotic via Twitter and expressed my concerns pertaining my panorama modules lacking intesity to "sustain" sps corals.i've exchanged e-mails with Ike(i think he's the big boss)explained to him what was happening with my corals and included a picture to show him my affected corals.He did agree that my leds were insufficient and therefore,he is sending me a care package to rectify the issue i am currently experiencing i am one happy customer....also been told that the one touch controller is now available but limited.a huge shout out to the big guy IKE.thanks Ecoxotic!

Awesome One thing's for sure; big names always try to keep their customers happy

I was just wondering what is this care package?
