New LED Fixture. Quality, 3 year warranty.

I was in Boise Idaho and purchased an led light from this company. https://aquariumledlightco.com/
Was able to see a couple that had been in use for quite a while and I am very impressed. Three extremely quiet fans. And my wife can hear anything, but these. You can totally customize the light colors with 2 different dimmers. Has blues, uv's, reds, whites, and greens. Very deep penetration. Have a tank at Peterson Toyota dealership that has been up for almost a year and the corals and coraline algae are doing great. Has a 3 year warranty, and built locally at Boise. I think I will be very happy with it and I suggest checking it out. I paid 325 for it. It comes with a hanging kit. Very quality heavy duty construction. Will post pics when I get the chance. Any one else use, or have heard of them? I will be using one on a 20 gallon long that I am just starting.

These are made by Evergrow. Same thing as the Reefbreeders light. They take the Evergrow fixture and make some modifications and add things like timers.

I have an Evergrow model without the lenses (hanging low above the tank so I opted for no lenses). It's a great fixture, and I paid $99 for it, but I don't have any of the bells and whistle like the timer.

Although there are a lot of similarities, there are more differences. My fixture has 3 fans on top, the housing is different, the controls are completely different, the mounting points are different. I am not completely confident that these are not from evergrow, however I don't think the modifications could be made to the original fixture to form this unit, so they would have to be making them special order from evergrow for this company, or they are just similar fixtures.

I know the old Evergrow models had 3 fans on them. I would be surprised if they weren't, Reefbreeders uses Evergrows.

Sure enough, that's the light. The few zoas that are on the live rock I bought sure are happy with it. Grows coraline fast due to the tank I saw set up at a car dealership.

I saw one of these at a tank in a Tarpon springs restaurant and decided to ask the owner about his feedback. He said he had bought them about 6 months before and was extremely happy with all the color options and features.

He did mention that he had to get a professional to measure and setup the correct color combination for his corals.

Good luck. Looking forward to some pictures once installed.

It's hard to beat a metal halide setup, only negative is the cost to buy, cost to operate, and heat generated. That is what I was going to do, but after happening upon a few of these that had been in operation at very nice aquariums, I decided to go all in.
