No UV, it's useless.
Also, all of AI's fixtures aren't as good as some of the Radions, Maxspect, Reefbreeders, etc because they never se WW or NW, and use lower quality leds.
Also a true full spectrum fixture to some is insane, HV (sometimes) TV, CB, cyan, DR, NW, and RB.

AI uses Cree XP-Gs? How is that lower quality when reefbreeders uses bridglux? Both are fine LEDs but Crees are a lot more popular as the favored diode.

How about a T5/MH/led combo??? Thoughts???

In reef hobbyist there is a very sweet one called "Virginias reef" I wish I had the magazine in front of me but his colors are amazing and he uses all 3 sources of light. Definitely works.

I've got 2 of the 16" EVERGROW D120's over my 90G
I'm pretty happy with them, I love how they are adjustable, and how cool they run.

replaced a dual 250w Metal Halide fixture

EverGrow D120 16" LED Custom Tuned by BRA - Barrier Reef Aquariums

Tank is 90 deep. I keep the lights at 2in above water line, really close. It works out perfect cuz my canopy slips right over them and looks super clean. Ill post sum more pics.
