    Just got it hung and programmed and I'm BLOWN AWAY. The color is amazing and the light isn't offensive like my Chinese LED fixture. Anyone here running one that has any input on them. It's a gen1 btw.

    I have a gen 1, ran it for a while and ended up taking the system it was on offline but I agree the color is great and all around a good unit. Only reason I don't run it on my main set up is because 1 isn't enough and the DIY units I have do the job. Eventually I will probably try to find another gen 1 and switch them out.

    I'm not a fan of the Gen1 or Gen2 but I like the PRO.

    I like good spectrum very much, although the whole line will grow corals fine

    Keep the power levels low. I've cooked some corals under mine from time to time

    I loved mine...just couldn't swallow the cost of 3 more of em. Great lights, and as soon as I see a Pro in person at my LFS...whenever EcoTech releases them for show!...I will start saving for my next build.

    So far so good. It's at 50% working its way up to 100 over the next 4 weeks. No bleaching or browning observed. Turns out one of the guys on my local reef club works for ecotech! He helped with the programming.
