Congrats man!!

 

I just ordered a pair of the reefbreeder 120w dimmable to put over my 90 and eventually my 180 when I get around to actually getting the stand for it built.
Wasn't planning on getting into the LED's yet but with the halide bulbs running $65 each every 9 - 12 months it was stupid not to give these a shot.

 

well, after a day i'll say this. The rapid cree's certainly are brighter than the bridgelux, I'm aware that I have a few more watts with the Cree's but the percentages certainly show that Cree's are stronger. That being said, the cost, cleanliness and pverall quality of the reefbreeders is great for the money. We will watch and wait for durability. Also, the fans are super quiet!

 

Thats good to hear.I just ordered my fixture friday,dying to see the difference over my stock oddysea t5 bulbs,should be like night and day.

 

I am very happy with my reef breeders. Cant say how results are. Only installed few days but color is amazing.

I have the 72w cree fixtures from reef reefers.


The reds do stand out lot more with iPhone camera. Maybe try some iPad shots tom.
