Got my Reef Breeders Value LED today. Full spec with 90 degree optics
Here is a pict with the white channel at 25% and blue channel at 30%


Very impressed with this light!!!! When I first dialed it up my 14 year old son was like "OMG THAT JUST POPS!!"
Only.

My only complaint, and it is a small one, no coverage in the back corner. Going to place a par 38 there.

Yeah, after seeing the value ones, unless you have a deep tank I would go for the 120 optics. They have a lot of leds clustered in a small space! I've got a similar complaint with the photon 48- wish it had one row of leds wider for front to back coverage.

Replace the outside LEDs with 120s :) also in my 24" deep tank I get 550 par at the bed at 100%. Raise them up and replace the outside with 120s and you might be golden

Great suggesting Guys!!!!
My son and I removed the optics in 15 minutes.



At 30% complete coverage with 120 degree optics. Perfect. Just need to find the sweet spot for intensity.

The rest of my corals are doing great. It seems only to be the very top of the colony. Only thing I can do at this point is to frag off the top. The colony is fully encrusted onto the rock and the piece of rock is rather large.

I have it dialed up to about 60% on both. Dont think it needs much more. The pict doesnt do it justice. The colors POP!!! Never been happier with a light. My green pocillioporas are no longer bleaching other than what happened at first.
