Quick comparison between the Tropic Sun and Reef Crest Quanta Pro as I swap out the TS for the RC.
TS - Metal Halide replica in the 10-12k range. Pictures don't do them 100% justice but you can see the small Oregon Tort on the right popping and the chromis look amazing.

ReefCrest Quanta Pros - Great stand alone bar for daylight. I'd guess it at 16k. Matches Kessils on 50% color very well.

Side by side - RC on left, TS on right. TS not as yellow as the camera makes it out to be but does have a tinge of yellow/green. Still pops well

RC x 3 / OGP x2 / A500x @ 50% color and 75% intensity - looks crazy blue on camera but in person it has a nice full Radium look to it. Couldn't be happier. I really liked the TS and so did the tank but it didn't quite blend with the kessils. It only happened around areas where the kessils were shaded. Now it's very uniform throughout.
