Smile Pharos from Fathom LEDs

Hello

I was in market for LEDs to go over my 300 gallon Aquavim seamless bow aquarium. I learned of the Pharos system from Fathom LEDs. These lights are awesome. My good buddy compared the readings to his metal halides over his 450 gallon system he has been running for years. The Pharos actually out performed the top of the line metal halides. Anyone in market for LEDs I suggest you check out FATHOM LEDs. The second generation of the Pharos is incredible with a complete spectrum of lights needed for excellent growth. My tank is doing incredible since I installed these lights.

If I read correctly it uses CB, RB, WW, NW. Great spectrum. But not a full spectrum.
and $470
