Ok.....I may have jumped the gun a little bit.......we aren't "officially" carrying them yet.......but we do have a demo unit in our possession to evaluate ......from what Ive seen so far(literally just started playing with it).....it seems like a pretty kick butt unit........driving Cree LEDs to 3.5w (potentially) and fully programmable....
For your tank Mike, they recommend four units.......that being said, the Prometheus has a 30" spread so you may be able to get away with three......add one later if you need to

Wow... They also blatantly ripped off all of the text I wrote for the Illumina.

Screenshot and timestamped for future justice.

I'm running two Vertex Illumilux 48" over my 150 Gal. One is Marino Bianco and the other is Marino Blu. These fixtures are the sleekest I've seen in LED! They have a better shimmer and are evry bit as bright as my Pheonix halides! I suggest you seriously take a look at these before you make a decision. I got mine at Red Coral in Lethbridge. I thought about the DIY approach but I wanted something that didn't look too "Frankenstein" over my tank. Here is a good comparison of True Lumen Pro, Reefbrite, and Illumilux http://198.92.103.102/forums/showthread.php?t=1992015
