ok found something else.
http://www.reefshops.com/60cm-90cm-1...n-sd-card.html New LED fixture (120V-220V) with built in timer and controller it’s a 3W Cree Led or BridgeLux LEDs 60 degree or 90 degree optics of your choice. 9k to 18 K color. One year warranty ( did order from them 3 times before and warranty was supported, it was one small item though (impeller) but at least i know the company exist), also has a remote control and a dimmer for different light intensity as well as moon cycle SD card slot for program storage. Price is from 300 to $432 depending on type of LEDs and size of the fixture. So for the most expensive Cree LED model +$30 for hanging kit+ $70shipping to Canada it is $533. Has built in fans. As you can see they measured PAR without water which is sucks but at least they provided something, does anyone know how much PAR is lost in water, can we some how figure out what actual PAR will be reaching corals? 482 PAR at 12" without water what will that be with water I wonder? Everyones opinion is welcome and apreciated. thx

To calculate: pick your fixture, put it in shopping cart. Click on shopping cart (top left of the screen) click calculate shipping cost, choose your location postal code etc, click calculate. There will be 3 options but I think more expensive does not mean faster shipping it will be 3 weeks anyway so when I buy from them I always pick the cheapest. having said all that, I don't know how good the fixture is even though they say its a Cree LEDs and this very well may be, but quality of the build and electronics is a big question mark. I got few things from them: Protein Skimmer, Calcium reactor and overflow box. All works great. But I have no idea how LED light will work we might want to look for some reviews before making a decision. Also i would ask for a manual pdf download first because if its in Chinese (like mine for Calc reactor) it might be hard to figure out. He speaks good english but very basic, so make yourself very clear and sometimes he needs explanation on what exactly do you mean. Last edited by RuGlu6; 05-05-2012 at 07:37 PM.

I ordered one EVO led from aquatraders and should be here next week. Then I could set it up and let you guys know how good/bad it is. I believe I should be OK cause I have only softies and LPS.
I found a LED for reef tank in the following link very interesting, they show the PAR value at different water depths. Aslo you can pick it up locally in Vancouver. http://qpaws.ca/home.html
