Default Evergrow D120 LED

Pretty sure I'm going to purchase the Evergrow D120 LED from Reef Supply Canada. For $175 each they are well priced.

http://www.reefsupplycanada.com/d120...ight-16-light/

I found good reviews on both the net and this forum.

But looking to open the topic up to try get some more up to date reviews on them.

The specs seem good. 55 x 3w LED. 16" fixture so I need two for my 4' 70g.

These are in my price range and won't be buying Radion or Sol as too much to drop for me.

Please, if you have input on these lights, please provide.

Nick at RSC has been very helpful and his reputation for customer service is good too.

Help me out. Pics if you gottem!

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Default Evergrow

There is a good thread on these from about a month back. Everyone I've talked to that have the lights love them. Price is very good too. The full spectrum ones have a purple tint to them in person. U won't find a better light for the price.

I saw the thread. Thanks. Though it was older than that.

I've got an evergrow it2060 and I love the lights and I switched from ai sols. Corals are loving it too. Its basically same light just controllable and covers 30" instead of 24". Mine came with a 3 year warranty too. Good value if you don't need all the fancy gimmicks.

Gimmicks as in a lightning show? Yes not required.

I posted a review on Nicks website on the IT2040 that I got a couple of weeks ago. Same light , different control method. I've also got a few pics on my tank build but they don't show the true colour. I used to run 14k MH and much prefer the colour from this light.

I did manage to burn two frags that had been sitting under a 250MH. They faded badly at 24inches under the 2040 within 2 days with it set at 60%. On the flip side a frag that had done nothing but brown under MH started to grow almost overnight and turned green within a week - it really has been astonishing to see.

Default IT2080

I have an IT2080 over my 120gal reef. my corals are loving it my Zoas look amazing now. it's a bit purple but i'm still adjusting the intensity. I was running power compacts before so i'm bring it up slowly, still at 40%. I can't wait tell i can get them to 60%

i would recommend Evergrows lights for the price.

i got mine threw Nick as well and he was awesome to deal with.
