    I'm getting one whenever they become available again. All of the dimmable are gone! It will start on my 20 while my 55 is set up. I don't think I'll need more than one as I'll have 6-12" of sand on each end of the tank. The rock will be stacked in the middle.

    I have that one and I love it, the dimmer is a little weird though, it doesnt evenly dim. 75% and up looks like the same intensity.

    Might not be so obvious to the eye. I find a seller who is offering the unit that you have with green, 2 type of reds, violet and UV reds(in addition to cool whit and blue). Im tempted to get it.

    True.. I'm going to be swapping leds out of the unit, I have heard it is easy. I just need to find someone to buy them from. My manufacturer won't email me back.. Does anyone know of a place/ someone I could buy them from? They need to be two pronged, chinese sellers have them for a buck a piece.. Good deal.

    Any recent updates? Are you still happy with the lights? Are you still getting nice coral growth? Would you recommend 1 unit for a 28 gallon Nano?

    If you are reffering to the 120 watt Taotronics I have one over my 90 at 7 inches above the water and clams are thriving on the sb. I would definitely suggest a dimmable one because you will bake stuff in a small tank with them.

    Thanks for the reply, yeah those are the ones I am talking about. Gues I will go ahead and place my order for the dimable unit. I have read several reviews, and they never up dated after several months, I guess I should figure they must still be happy if they havent posted.
