Title explains it all. Getting ready for a major overhaul and re build of the 180 coming up In February, trying to get my ducks in a row. Im 100% going to upgrade to LEDs, alot of research has led me to 2 manufacturers.
1. Aqua Illumination
2. Evolution
I like both fixtures alot, I like what each can do.
FOR AI I like that fact they are upgradeable, and the fact I have seen numorous tanks in person running these lights and have really liked what I have seen
One the otherhand
I like the Evos for one major reason, ReefKoi sales them, I like to support locals, I like the idea of the distibutor being 2 hours away in case I have any isses, I also like the fact the Evos are now controllable and incorporate both red and green LEDs into the fixture, one downfall, Ive never seen these in operation.
I will be supplementing these lights with 4 36" True Actinic T5s to make sure Im hitting the 420nm spectrum as well, want my zoanthenale (sp?) to be happy and want colors to POP!
Any feedback, suggestions, insight, advice is very well apprciated.
