I have been thinking about making the jump into the LED world. I have a mixed tank but focus mainly on acans, zoas on the bottom to middle of tank. SPS on top. My current lighting is 250 MH with 2 X 24W T5.
So for those not familiar with Finnex, it is all in one. Main chamber is 24W X 18H X 16D.
My main focus is color, growth is second because the tank is so small and pretty established.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Im not 100% sure what you are asking here. Reviews/Opinions of the particular fixture? Or just how would it compare to your current lights?
I am not aware of anyone here that has that fixture, but a lot of us have similar ones. I think you will find more Reefkoi Evo fixtures around here than any others, which is made very similar. I personally have a 120w one, and in my opinion it is brighter than my old 250w MH. The LEDs make the tank look more vibrant as well. I have noticed about the same, maybe a bit more growth.
Given the option again, I would definitely have made the jump to LEDs again.

Looking for ideas on a new fixture. I was just giving the dimensions of my tank. It does not have a canopy.
Anyone lighting a smaller tank?
I saw Reefkoi fixture, I would need at least a dim able model. Not sure which size I would need?
Anyone using a Radeon? Is the programming worth the extra cost?
Appreciate any feedback.

Have you thought of gutting your current light fixture and replacing the insides with DIY led?

Was thinking about moving my old light to a frag tank. I am getting pretty full and itching for more space. This is an addicting hobby...

I put a dim able Evo 120 over my 29 bio cube and like it. If $$ isn't an issue then the ecotech would be the top choice.

I have a Radeon but bought it for the full spectrum, not the programming. But the software is awesome.
