And they all came from Ray.
What % do you run the it2060's & what size tank ?

On a 3ft 50g, will be on my 4ft. 90g soon. When I switched back to them, started at 40% white/ 60% blue. Ramped both up app. 5% a week roughly, sometime blue more.
I have not programmed yet but use sunny.....cloudy and night. Currently my sunny is 65% white/ 100% blue. My cloudy is 80% blue, which is my morning & evening. One day, I will program them to do it all auto daily. I absolutely love the remote controls for their units.

If you buy some we can pm back & forth if you need suggestions when your tank is up & running.

Hi,

The only EG's that are not programmable are the 2120. You have to manually set them with adjustment knobs and set them with a timer.

All the other models we sell have built in controllers and are indeed fully controllable.

Each 24" 2060 will easily cover 36" mixed reef. Supplementing with T5 will allow you to grow anything you want and will eliminate any shaded areas.

Here are some pics of a client using 3 x 2120 over a 60x18x18

Thinking I might need the it2080 (32") x2 . To cover the 72" length . As well as the it2080 has 99leds compared to it2060 has 51leds . I want to keep a mixed reef but trying for mostly sps. I was going to supliment with a couple 4' t5's , just because of 30" width.
Thinking the it2060 might not be bright enough ?
Thoughts ???

I am presently running two 2080 on a 72" 180 gallon. I have a mixed reef with SPS and LPS and a mixture of zoas. I like the lights, I have good growth and colour in my corals.

I ran a 2080 over my 3ft 50g. It was almost perfect, so yes, two over a 6ft. would be good.

2 x 32" will give you 100% coverage but like I said it's not necessary unless you are going SPS wall to wall and more importantly, if budget allows.

I have 2x 24" custom led layout Evergrows and I love them. The only thing I don't like is that you cannot sync them and the timers wander
