    70 CRI CW, CW aren't bad, but 70 CRI, really AI?
    400nm UV/TV, TV, and namely HV are great for spectrum, but adding 400nm ones is kind of a waste IMO.
    Green, cyan is more useful as it covers a larger spike.
    IIRC there aren't any CB either.... :-/

    I know nothing about LEDs are or is considered goo or bad so thats all a foreign language to me lol. Maybe I dont need all that controllability and a reefbreeders fixture would suffice. All those bells and whistles really pull you in but do you need to control every channel seperatly?? Do you need cloud cover and thunderstorm effects? Chances are once I plug it in and set it up I wont ever mess with it again anyhow.

    Thanks for the response!! I have though about the reefbrite strips in the past but it seems to get the xho strips in the length I want the price is still pretty high to be just a little better than a stunner strip. I looked at the ecoxotic panarama strips but decided I might as well get a primary LED light and not just an accent light.
    The RapidLED's ONYX Light Fixture looks kind of good too just came across them in an old 3reef post with a video review and PAR meter readings
