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

I've had them for a couple of months. I am amazed by the colour of the two together. My intention was to use these as supplemental lighting for my Halides so I really can't tell you how they perform as standalone light fixtures. What I can tell you is they have excellent light spread and are very bright. I wish I had a means of measuring PAR so I could determine how they would perform without the halides. Of course I could just turn the Halides off for a week and see how my light demanding corals do, but everything is doing so well in my tank I just don't want to risk it. On a 60 Gal I would bet money they would be more than enough, especially compared to T5.
