Default Decent LED for FW?

What a decent LED fixture for a FW tank, no plants, I would like to stay away from marineland as I hear bad things about them, Ecoxotic is an option but, would like to see what you guys come up with

What about the vertex Vertex Illumilux IV LED Fixtures? They have a variety of color options for fresh water like the Marino Sole or Dolce Bianco.

I think I'm going to stay away from pendants more then likely, vertex is a lot more then I am willing to spend for a FW tank, 48" is close to the price of a radion lol

Actually it's about half the price as a Radion and the same price (and way better) then the reefbright Marineland fixtures. Also if you tank is 48" consider the 36" vertex which should still produce enough coverage.

I hear ya, just not looking to spend more then probably $250 or so. I might see what martin can offer in the DIY department too, or ask Ecoxotic how many modules or stunners would be ample
