Damn I love the full spectrum to these lights. You can actually discern the different light spectrums. What was it worth per fixture?

For the three of them, one master and two slaves. With the spectrum set as I wanted it (12 different LED colors) and the lenses of my choice, I'm into it for $832US including shipping. I can still use the old lights for added effect if needed.

So the new lights have been up for a while...my corals are happy and growing. Maybe not as fast as I like because I've had trouble with getting Alk and CA right. The lights are not turned up yet with the highest channel reaching 60% during peak hours.

Thought I would update the tread with a few pics on how my tank is progressing. The lights are working well and corals continue to grow and color up. I ran out of room so I added some new rock as you can see by the color difference.

Sorry if this info is posted somewhere and I just overlooked it (I did try to look but came up empty), what lights are these new ones? Thanks!

I installed new Mirage x200 lights from LedZeal. I got to design the setup and spectrums. They are fully controllable with four channels. All in, including shipping was less than one radion.

cool.
would you think 3 of those would light a 96" x 36w x 24h? and what changes did you make from the default set up and why?

I would say that you would be better to go with more of them. I have them straight up the center and my tank is 84"L x 28"w x 26"D and as my corals grow large I imagine I will need to add a strip (maybe orphek) or t5 up the sides. In your situation I would say to look at 4 of them set diagonally which would cover the extra width and the length. An extra slave unit was about $235USD. They are also introducing the new X300 which is 36"long and more wattage. I don't know pricing.
As for my changes, I felt the original was a little too windex like. They now have a pre-made "super blue" option which has been popular and it mirrors the Radion G5 blue for look. I have attached what I did in this pic. In hindsight I think I would replace the reds with two Royal Blue as I get enough red in my low K whites.
