    not to hijack this thread, however those who using these 120w leds and as well those who have DIY led fixture, what is best ratio of blue & white to get right color combination?

    some sellers giving option to customize ratio of blue vs white and also degree optics to choose? so white 20 : blue 45 is best option with 60/90/120 degree optics?

    Berry nice ;D. What is your led ratio? How high is your DIY hanger fixture from the base?

    I just ordered two of these and can't wait to hook them up.

    What size tank is that? 90? 125?

    Looks as though you could use 2 of them.

    its a 75g, but the lights are like 3 inches higher than I wanted. it still gets good coverage though, but I may end up grabbing a second light in a couple of months. gonna see how things grow first.

    I have 2 over a 65g flat back hex. The lights only sit like 4" off the water though. Your coverage looks good and your white balance on your camera is better than mine cuz my pics don't look as purple.

    FYI, I believe they are 23/22 Blue/White.

    I am thinking about adding some UV light strips just to pick up the missing spectrum that the blues don't have.
