I bought this unit to replace a Coralife 36″ (2X96 fan cooled Freshwater 6700K) unit. I live in El Paso and my tank is under a sky-light. Due to the abundance of natural light, I don’t really need much for things to grow. I run the light about 5 hours a day (6 to 11PM).
Pros- runs much cooler than my Coralife. I like the natural color of the LED units over the 6700K Coralife. Very low profile(may be a + or – depending on your taste).
Cons- not a salt water or coral light. Not enough light for that. Marineland would need to double the LED count to come close. Cannot run just the blue lights separately, should have had two cords for use of timers with the unit. Use of power adapter a little cheap and flimsy compared to the two three prong power cords of the Coralife. Coralife has much more light output, can change the bulbs for different color needs (salt, fresh, plant, coral, etc)
Because I don’t need a bunch of light, I like the unit and will keep it.
