Ok. Here's a rookie question... You said you run about 16k. Kelvin is adjustable? And how do you know the value?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

You can do a custom set up and adjust the blue and white ratio

I have an IT2040 as well but haven't got it running over a tank yet. Picking the tank up later this month from concepts. The light is great, its full spectrum and customisable with the built in control. A little more expensive that the d120 but a little more controllable.

thanks for all the input.

I really have no reason for not trying these.

My tank is almost cycled... from the rebuild. No corals in the tank... so its the right time to switch lights out.

Probably sell my 48" 6 bulb tek. im worried, as the tek is good.... but I hate buying new bulbs. Just spending too much money. No money on bulbs = more money for fish.

Did anyone think this D120 is not bright enough? I run both channels at 100% and still my 4 x 39watt T5 is brighter. My tank is 3ft x 2ft x 2ft tall. I run 1 D120 about 8 inches above the water. The light doesn't penetrate deep enough. Does anyone in lower mainland have any of this I can take a look or compare? Maybe mine is defective
