    I will say I do like the design and manual knob tuning on the fly these bad boys offer. I may buy a used one in the future to put over my nano, but won't be replacing the AI's on my 60 cube anytime soon/ever. Thanks for the post!

    I'm running 2 EVO 150's over my 75g right now. When I switch to the 60 cube I will be using the 350w
    Supper excited!!!!

    I wonder if this would be overkill on my 24g bullet tank? I have the 150w Kessil over that now, but LTA could really use a little more light.........

    How high do you have it mounted? I've got mine 5" from the surface on a 40 breeder, and am getting 250 ish par midtank and 90-100 bottom. My RBTA's have settled mid-tank. I'm running 2 - 150's. And to answer your question, no it won't be overkill.

    The tank is ~20" top to bottom.  I have the fixture about 3" from the water's surface.  Here's what I got using our areas PAR meter.




    So I can adjust the 2 different colors in the 350 so it won't have to be super bright, correct?

    Yes, you can adjust both from what it sounds like.

    I'm thinking I like the light spread of the wide angle one a bit more......looks like you'll have to buy a special 350 gooseneck too = a lot more $$$ and I just got the 150w :/ Might have to wait a bit or sell a bunch of frags, lol!
