    Hey Logan,

    Hello, I sent ya a email and look forward to talking to ya, but thought I'd start a thread.

    So here's my plan, I have a rapidled system on my tank, but want more colors and less wires. What I want to do is buy one of your lights and compare to my system, yours on one side, mine on the other, and then sell whatever I don't keep, and buy another one of yours if I like it better. 90G tank, currently on each side is;
    all Cree
    9 CW and 3 NW
    10 RB and 6 blue
    6 violets

    So I was thinking of adding one of the following; 120W or 96W bridgleux verse the 72W Cree value fixture.

    I'd like to stick at $200, am loyal to Cree's but like the additional color options of the bridgelux.

    Feel free to call me or chat it out here;)
    Ryan

    I had the same issue, I'd rather go crees, but everywhere I read states that sps does much better with uv so I went with bridgelux hopefully it arrives soon!

    Go nw and rb, better colors than cw and blue IMO.

    IME, that will give corals a pastel color. A couple NW might give a little benefit, but too many will harm corals.
