    Ok, well I'm a distributor for Evergrow led lighting here in Florida. If you want i can get you some specs on their led lights for you to compare if you want. Your not too far from me so shipping would be rather quick. Do some research and let me know. I presently have 2 of the 16" units on a 75 gallon reef and I'm pleased with the overall functionality and ease of use with these units.

    Good luck

    that would be great! i have a 36 gallon bowfront i am setting up. my lfs sells the radion which is fine but i would like to see what else would be best for my tank. my problem is, that i havent set up a tank in years, so i know nothing about led really.

    Jmoney,

    There a message boards here in 3reef that will help you compare different leds. Do some research. I know there are a few posts from bhazzard on par readings between radion and evergrows systems. The pars are close, but the evergrow systems are almost half the price, and are completely controllable for sunrise and sunset functions, plus dimmable w/out buying a controller. I'm not saying buy evergrow, but do your research and see what you like. If you care to go with evergrow I can get you a good deal. You can also customize your color scheme with evergrows systems.

    Good luck
