Evergrow LED lights

Hi Doug, for The D120 how many watts do you think your using, I was thinking of one for my frag tank its 24 inch long but just thought if its 120W then there are more efficient options with LED out there for a bit more but less in the long run, I took off a 150W MH so looking at cutting down my power usage.
Did you get the full spectrum/90Degree?

I have never measured wattage but would guess its 120 as stated? I assume thats at full intensity but again not sure. I also have a SWC Extreme running at 60w. Not as intense white as the D120 but its a pretty good fixture. My sps grew well under it as long as not to deep but that seems the same for my 120.

I aslo took a 150w fixture off my 20g tank when I bought the 60w unit. I never had much luck with the 150 and a 14k double ended bulb. My corals grew better with the led, but as mentioned limited depth and spread. On my 30g I almost need both which I assume is 180w. May as well run a 250 halide.

Should add I,m sure the D120 would be plenty for my 30g, if it was not all sps corals.

So, does anyone have any thoughts on two D120s compared to just one of the new IT2080s? Cost is close

Oh and I mentioned my tank was a 75gal.. think its more of an 80, either way its 48"x18"x20"

I would do 2 120's over a tank that width. Cheaper. you wont get all the icky shadowing, Unless you feel the need to do everything digitally? I prefer mine simple... Its the same spread as the 120 i think so if you just do 1 on a tank that large... you're only lighting up half of it.
Except I ordered directly from the company in China, no need to pay the middle man extra.

I have Evergrows Nova a8 over my 36" tank and LOVE it, comapy was great to deal with, they did it up and sent it out super quick. I went DIY with my colour choice as I wanted my blues too be deeper/darker, then what the standard is as well as adding in some red/green, and making my whites more then just 10,000k. Great growth on my monti's and lps, haven't bought any other sps yet. But I have faith these lights will grow anything.

yea I saw them on aliexpress.com but wasnt sure if i could trust that site
I wouldnt mind spending a little more and getting from a canadian retail at least.

i dont know about trusting ali express, after it rejected my visa and asked for my passport i left..... But I trust Evergrow. Did paypal directly to them, bypassed all the silly sites. Free shipping, all you pay is the customs/import fee when it gets to your front door.

would 1 of the D120s work on a jbj 28 nano? my pc's and moon lights are toast and looking for a cost effective alternative.

Will one of these d120 full spectrums be enough light for my standard size 29g? I do have some easier sps and tons of soft coral and a couple different sps

I cant find the Nova A8 on those links that were posted. Did they discontinue them?

I'm scrapping my RapidLED abortion build for something like the A8 or D120 Think the A8 I could use 2 but the D120 I will need 3. 60x24x24 tank.
