    Hi guys I had posted in another thread the same question but noticed that the last post before mine was back in November so I wasn't sure if the thread was dead lol

    So here is many question...
    I'm planning on getting this fixture D120w with 2 Red+2Green+23White+28Blue with Optical Lens free shipping ,2Years Warranty-in Pet Products from Home & Garden on Aliexpress.com

    This is what I thinking for the layout of the lights... 4 8500k whites, 12 10000k-14000k whites, 1 630nm red, 2 660nm red, 4 420nm violet and 32 455nm royal blue, this would give a 2:1 blue/white ratio and also add a little extra pop with the reds and violets.*Please tell me what you think of this, thanks :D

    And please forgive me if the other thread wasn't dead :)

    I can't access the link, but might I suggest a light from Reef Breeders LED Fixtures? They're a sponsor of this site nd the value fixture consists of: 9 7500K cool whites, 4 3500k warm whites, 2 520nm green, 4 480nm blue, 4 420nm violet, 2 630nm reds, and 2 660nm deep reds and 28 450nm.

    I had considered ordering from reef breeders but the lights I'm looking at come with the 90 degree lens for twenty dollars cheaper.

    I'm all for supporting the forums but if I can save 20 dollars (40 in my case since I'll be ordering two) then that's the way I'm gonna lean, sorry :(

    +1,from what I've read here alot of members have had a good exsperience dealing with reefbreeders,I think you can customize the colors and optics for a small charge.

    Although that is a lot of color...hmm what to do. The other reason I'm leaning toward the other fixture is because they will put all the whites, reds and violets on one dimmer and all the blues on the other. Would reefbreeders do that you think?

    You might want to consider that if you have a problem with one of those lights you are probably responsable for the return shipping charge to china.

    If you read more about the seller of the 120w fixture. They say there are warranty places in the US, and that you don't have to send the fixture back to China, if there is a problem.
