Just got my lights and very happy with them, only time will tell how they hold up. But very fast shipping and well packed from the ebay seller.

I'm running both channels at 25% right now. How soon can I ramp it up to 100%, my Sps are located mid tank?

I went with the two "SunSpect-2PCS-165W-LED-Aquarium-Light-Built-in-Timer-SPS-LPS-Coral-Reef-Dimmable".

I may buy a 3rd for a different tank, can't beat it for the price.

I'm still old school using MH lighting, but if I was to upgrade to LED then I would probably spend a few more dollars and get a WIFI version. Which you can simulate sunrise and sunset and even lunar cycles if that's important to you.

If you just want basic LED with no timer then the Mars Aqua are probably the best, but adding the cost of timers will increase the price unless you have a controller to control timing.
