How deep is your tank man? I have them over my 24 inch tall tank and at full intensity I bleached out the sps on the bottom of my tank.
I run my lights at 60% from 8 am to 9pm

Recently changed from T5 HO to the IT2040 (similar LED's to the d120, I think?) and really like it, but it took awhile to get used to the blue factor

Did quite a bit of reading and it seems that most run a fairly high percentage of blue to white, but for me, I'm happier with a max of 65% white to 50% or less blue (slowly ramp up and down from this). Time will tell if the tank agrees

Going back to your previous post back then, you said that Evergrow is the Best Bang for your Buck light fixture.

I run D2120 50% Blue 35% FullSpec and I love it with T5HO supplement. I used to run 90% Blue and 50% FullSpec, my SPS loves it however my LPS started bleaching so I turn it down.

I ran the 2080 over my all sps tank. Sold it and went to a 6 bulb Sunpower. Great colours but still not enough growth. So back led. Instead of the 2080 I bought two 2040,s.
As for the units themselves, I really like them, which is the reason I went back to the Evergrow as compared with other led fixtures. Not to mention the decent price.
