Gen 1 Radions. I love the endless amount of functions with them and the controlability. The color spectrium is awesome as well. I like how people complain about how expensive they are but everybody buys the mp40's. IMO anything can push water around however you can't just use any lighting to grow coral.

LOL then again I don't have Vortech's in my system. I can't see spending $900 to push some water

However I did just order a wp40

Over the 90 I have two old school Apollo’s….non-dimable.


Over the JBJ-28 a “Chinese” fixture just like the Reefbreeder or the the Evergrow 120d. The only thing I can say is that these new Chinese fixtures are not the fixtures of the past. My biggest complaint about older Chinese fixtures was the lack of aluminum cooling fins. The early models had no aluminum. This new fixture has more aluminum than the Apollo’s I have. Also, now controllable, choice of optics, “full” spectrum….I’m very happy. $179 for manual dimming; $305 for fully controllable (with it’s own controller)….good stuff. Here’s a shot of the aluminum through the slits in the side:

JBJ unibody 54w over my nano. I really like the sleek clean look. For my new tank I'm now debating between Kessil A360w or maybe holding out for the JBJ unibody 108 which comes with wireless control, hmmm

We have 2 AI's over one frag tank and 2 Fathom leds over another frag and we are very pleased with the look and growth of corals with both fixtures!

I have the panorama pro 24". It's doesn't get rave reviews nor does it have any bells and whistles. But it is dimable and fits my tank well (54 gal corner). My corals are growing well and the tank looks very good. I keep the blue lights at 80% and the white at 30%. Sometimes I think I'm the only one that ever bought this fixture. I'm not about to replace it after spending $500 with the mount. But am intrigued by reviews on some of the other products out there.
