You should talk to Frank (oyf709), I got one from him, but never have a chance to set it up yet. I think he has one set up for his tank.

ya you can let me know if you do have some questions, or you can talk to Spit.fire who also got a Zetlight pro from me.
here is his tank journal

You can also check out the video I just shot for 3reef as Zetlight is one of their sponsor.

All these lights are from the same series just 2500 is 72w and the one on my tank is 144w. I do turn it down the setting 9 tho which is the lowest setting.
As for Otto, I wish you can set up your light soon, I am a big fan to see other ppl's tank.

I think the 72w wold be enough for your tank since most of the coral are softies. Whats your current color temp for the MH bulb? You might found the LED not as bright as the MH if your bulb is 14000K or less. The main reason is that the 50% in blue LED could push the LED fixture more closer to a 20000K MH bulb and to human eyes, I believe that warmer color temp means brighter overall when compare the same watts bulb.Some one correct me if I am wrong please. Would you like to drop by my house to take a look? I still have 1 last 72w SPS fixture left until my new shipment coming in about a week

That sounds about right no statistic reading of that but I would go with your feeling in this case =) I hope you enjoy your light.
