Aquaticlife Halo VS SBReef LED

[momo]

Hello all, I am in search for a new LED fixture and have narrowed it down between SBreef and aquaticlife halo deluxe unit. Any one has the aquatic life unit? if so any thoughts. Regarding the Aquaticlife unit i keep hearing its too blue.

I have the halo and really like it.

Those SB Reef Lights have to be THE ugliest looking fixture on the market.

The Halo puts out a really crisp looking blue, and I believe you can control the spectrum. Its a nice light.

What are the dimensions of your tank and what do you plan to keep in it?

Go with the Halo. The other fixture is just another rebadged Chinese leds with horrible high kelvin whites.

i have the halo both deluxe and standard the light is not too blue. deluxe has its own controller. the standard can be controlled with apex controller using v1/v2 port. you can adjust the blues and whites and create sunrise to sunset and moon lights. i like them a lot.
let me know if you are looking for a deluxe

My tank is 24x24x16 and right now i have a bunch of ZOAS, some ACANS and 3 sticks of SPS in it. I am currently using the MAXspect Razr and dont like the spread it offers. All the zoas are reaching for the light and it has a lot of shadowing in the corners.
