    How deep is your light? I'm trying to figure out if I can fit a 24" on a Solana along with a sunpod.

    I have the 36" and it works great. Replaced my old Coralife. Single wire and timer to set gradual lighting conditions. My leathers are bloomin like crazy.

    I believe my tank is 17" deep and my corals love it! My xenia already split after 3 weeks and my finger leather is growing like a weed. My zoos are also very happy.

    I have the 30" version on my 29 gall tank. I love the light, no problems what so ever. I also love the fact that it has one chord and built in timers. Set it and forget it.

    Its good to see these replies. I'm starting a list for a 90 gallon reef and was looking at these lights. Has anyone had any problems with the reflectors? How much do these lights raise your water tempature?

    I have the 48 inch. For a 90 gallon I would suggest the 6 bulb fixture. As for raising the water temp, if it is open it will not. If it is in a canopy then expect 1-2 degrees. It did it to mine, but I added a fan to my canopy and the temp went right back down.

    Why the 6 bulb fixture?

    I use a canopy also. No heat issues but I do have a cooling fan in the canopy. Only problem I've had with the light was two of the moonlight LEDs burnt out in the first three weeks. I called the company and they sent me new led modules to replace mine within a week, works perfectly for the past seven months.
