Taotronics LED fixtures

[Hondatek]

Awesome. Thanks for the info Greg . Time to compare the spec from the taotronic to the dimmable ones that look just like them and click that buy button lol.

I don't think you will be disappointed. These are not $750 Radion fixtures, but your corals won't know that.

Just ordered it... This is the one I went with .

Dimmable LED Aquarium Light 120W Coral Reef Tank White Blue Grow Light 55x3 Watt | eBay

 

[Gregcoyote]

That's a crazy good price. You could buy over 500 watts of LED for the cost of some single fixtures. Built in China is the only draw back.

 

[Hondatek]

For sure. The fact that it has enough light to keep anything is great for a coral newbie like me . Now I don't have to worry about accidently buying a coral that I can't support.

 

[Gregcoyote]

Just remember that light is only part of the equation. You should be set there.

I'm thinking 3 of these for my 100 gallon reef.
Dimmables though So I can keep them about 5 inches from the water level.

Well you might burn and bleach a lot of things with this light if you're a newbie. Be careful!

Have you guys seen the newer ones? They have a 141W and a 212w neither of which are dimmable. Then there's the 120w non dimmable and a 120w dimmable.
Oh, The new 212 and 141 have side screw in terminals for the power cords and come with a hanging kits. They alaoss have heat sinks now and are much quieter, from what I've heard.

I want to pick up a couple, but don't know if I should go with the 212 or the 141.
I have a 120 tank that measures 48X24X25. I don't have room above my tank to move them more than 8" from the water surface.

Can a more experienced reefer please give me some advice?

I currently have 3 zoa frags, but would like to eventually get into better corals.

Here's a link to the auction. They offer all the different types on one auction

Oh man there's also 1:1 blue/whites, 2:1 blue/whites, 2:1 whites/blues
Those are only on the 212w
And all of them come with a 3 year warranty.
Any suggestion on which to get?

Just got my light . Dimmable version with 55 3 watt LEDs. Talk about bright .

Make sure the fans don't clog with dust. This type of fixture attracts it like a computer does. I cut a piece of furnace filter material and lay it across the fan openings on the back.
