I'll post some pics in a bit:)
 
the light is very bright however it is only a 23" light. so the ends of the tank could use some more light. so i'm going to ad a 48"T5  budget is $150 or less. I've done some searching and have narrowed it down to 4 lights.
 
        they all have individual reflectors, and i will be using ATI bulbs, so basically i just want the one that will stay the coolest, and  so that i can get a bit more life out of the bulb. And one with a good ballast. i heard Oddysea ballast put out 20%less? Help me decide which one will stay coolest out of these 4 thanks!

Just wanted to add  that $500 purchase for that Panorama was way out of my budget, and kind of regretted making such an expensive compulsive buy. But i finally got around to hanging it up today, and i must say it was worth every penny, i thought the Led wouldn't be as bright. and would need added lights to make the tank brighter, man i was wrong, this thing is easily twice as bright as my 8blub T5  can't imagine this tank with two of these things! i'm gonna start saving for another one:)

i will take pics of the T5 8 bulb. v.s. the the Ecoxotic Panorama LED if anyone is intertested in seeing the difference.
GREAT BUY!!Big smile]]> Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:54:53 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51860&PID=438964&title=need-help-chooseing-light#438964 <![CDATA[need help chooseing light. : i actually took apart my cheap...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51860&PID=438661&title=need-help-chooseing-light#438661 Author: herrera

i actually took apart my cheap eBay light and cleaned it really good, i got 6 of 8 lights working, and i'm just going to buy one new ballast to get it to work again. I decided im just gonna do fish only, with some zoas, and that's it for the 120g.

 
I'm gonna put my 36g back together, and do a reef tank, and  use the Panorama on that.

ATI doesn't make a 2 bulb fixture.

That LED light will light up about 30-34" of your tank. I would get another 24" Ecoxotic fixture in the future. The one you bought has been discontinued but the new model will be out here in the next week or so.]]> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 16:46:46 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51860&PID=438316&title=need-help-chooseing-light#438316 <![CDATA[need help chooseing light. : just bought one of these from...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51860&PID=438310&title=need-help-chooseing-light#438310 Author: herrera
