What size is your tank? For 500 you could get the it2080 which I have now got to work for me. They now come with neutral whites instead of warm whites which is a lot nicer to the eye. Send an email to nick at reef supply Canada and he can advise you. Great to deal with and helped me through my issues. As far as customer support goes he's on par with J&L aquatics

my tank is 72x20x20 and im trying to keep the costs down so around the 500-600$ range for the whole tank for lighting is my budget.

I'm thinking about ordering 1 D120 for my 90 gal custom 36 x 24 x 24 tall. Anyone has any feedback about the LED?

I just got mine yesterday and have been running them for about 12hrs and they are really nice. My corals closed up for a little while but I have the units on about 20% power now and they are opening up and looking better than ever.

I'll post some screen shots and some more info later this week once I have had them a little longer.

Hi Magma, which LED did you get? I'm thinking of getting 1 unit of D120 full spectrum to light my 3 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft. If I can get away with only 1 unit that would be amazing.

i went with a D120 on my jbj-28. im fairly impressed. corals look as good or better than they do under T5s in my 180. Too soon to comment on growth thou. have white about 20% and blue around 30. cant ever see needing to go higher than 50% per channel on this size tank.

I got the D120 Full Spectrum units, 3 of them for a 6ft tank, and they are bright! since my 6ft tank is not setup yet I put one of them over my 3ft tank at about 10" above the water and it lights up the tank a TON. I would not see you needing more than 1 unit over a 3ft tank.

I also ordered from reef supply canada, nick was great to deal with.

thank you guys for the feedback, i'm sold, will try to order 1 this week. Nick said he's expecting a shipment of D120 this week.
