Ok I'm a little confused still, what are the benefits with going 2:1 ratio blue to white vs 1:1? Also what is the difference between 1G, 2G and 3G Evolution models other than the look?

Thanks,

Corey

The 2:1 looks more blue to our eyes, to the corals I dont think it makes a huge differemce, the acroporas and blue clams look better under the 14K but everything else looks better under 20K typically.
When PAR testing the 14K and 20K are identical :) A little birdie told me evo will launch 4 fully dimmable unit's by MACNA :) roughly the same prices as the current non dimmable ;) with 2 blue in them, royal and the regular 460 nm blue in the current models...........ok i've leaked too much already!~! Haha

Hey guys one other thing, how many hours a day do you run your lights? Also what is a good time for them to turn on and off?

Thanks

Corey

Any idea when the 20K 120 Watt 1G or the 20K 200 Watt 3G will be back in stock? Been waiting for awhile...

I get shipments weekly lately so just order away and I think I have an extra one or two coming late next week as of now :)
