Agreed. If price is a problem then a pair of 120,s would work well. On my smaller tank I ran a single and that was before they added more colours.

This was grown from a tiny frag under one.

So reeferluke let me come over to his place to check out his d120s and I was totally impressed with them. With full intentions of ordering them when I got home but the rest of my running around for the day resulted in a couple of beers when I got home so I ended up going with the controllable 48" IT2012. My logic was 1 cord vs 4 on my controller. Sunrise sunset programming is a bonus which im still on the fence about. I'm keeping the MH fixture until I'm sure the led works for me.

Good old beer - Ya gotta love it !
Trust me , you'll be so much happier that you spent the extra. Also worth more & desirable if you go to sell them .
Please update when you've tried them out for a bit !

Yea I seem to make all my best decisions after drinking ha-ha. Resale was another factor if I decide I can't get the led to my liking and end result.
I will update for sure! Seems most people are happy with evergrow lights so hopefully I'll be another satisfied customer! Reef supplies after an email figures 2 weeks until the shipment lands so should have an update in a few months after so use

I have the 48 inches evergrow. Bought it in May this year and really liked it until half of it didn't work. I'm waiting for the replacement driver right now.

No doubt these lights grow coral and are one of the best deals for LED lighting!
