I'd probably go with the aqua illumination fixtures.

Y spend so much when u can pay only a fraction with great results

cause its been said many times before.. You get what you pay for. Sure the chinese knock offs produce light, and sure stuff looks good under it. But if you think thats impressive imagine what you would think if you got a higher end led. Not to mention I'm sure the high end lights have better long term results.

thx everyone for the info ! and i looked at some fellow reefers tanks today using radion g2 and he couldnt express how much he has to frag cause the growth is just amazing !, cant argue with a man whos tank looks better then anything in the aquarium. but jason604 i do know tons of reefers on canreef who use chinese lights and again have amazing tanks growing sps is no problem with them , im really leaning on the radion just from the full spectrum it gives out so just fishing for some used ones now ! but please do link links on some lights im open minded thanks everyone!

^ This is the reason I never comment on these LED threads anymore and am getting really sick of the elitism of this hobby.

I have these "Chinese knock offs" and they work amazing. I actually bought them because of another forum where someone has been using these for the last 3-4 years. Few other users of these same fixtures came forward with there pictures and results and I was very impressed.

These fixtures are great and have proven long term results you just have to look rather than assume unless its a brand name with a high price its not worth it.

So unless you mean you get what you pay for in extra gadgets I dont believe that statement to be true at all.


Evergrow D120s work great (Same as the TaoTronics) Nick at www.ReefSupplyCanada.ca has them and hes great to deal with. IMO best bang for the buck if you want a light which wont break the bank.
