I am bringing up a small reef tank - 30" long by 18" front to back by 18" deep. BRS has the ATLANTIK V4 (GEN 2) LED LIGHT FIXTURE on sale for around $800 which would probably light the tank nicely. Anyone using one of these on MARSH and if so, how do you like it?

Thanks,

Bob

I don't have one but they seem pretty decent. I was actually looking at them too but even at 799/each (would need 3) that ends being too much $$ for me sadly.

Well, bringing this thread back from the dead. It’s been a year since the OP and there are great reviews out there.

Even BRS posted a few videos on these and highly recommended them over everything else currently in the market.

As expected, nothing is perfect and I would like to gauge anyone’s input in these. I have a new build coming up and will need more lightning than I currently have and wonder if this would be a better option for coverage and proper color spectrums compared to buying more Radion G4 Pros and T5s.

I don’t have any actual use data but can say based on reviews that if I had the money I would be running 3 of these vs 5 of the 165w black box LEDs. T5 supplementation? Not sure but likely still would.

I have a few that I bought in September when Saltwater Aquarium was selling for 787.50ea + points and +5% back from CC. I decided to go with them instead of the others because of coverage and depth as I have tall tanks. you can just order it with a different Lens and it reaches deeper. BRS, Dayna Riddle, lots of people RAVE about them, and have data behind the product. you won't find a better PAR per Watt.

just know that i did buy them before discovering "ReeFi LED Duo Extreme"

So what are your lights of choice now?

Just moved to Colorado and ready to set up a new tank.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Bob
