Evergrow 120d for 29g

[Clink51]

With X-Mas around the corner, im thinking about getting some LEDS for my tank and im tryign to work on a thin budget. SOOOO. i have read awesome things about this and its very affordable and has good customer reviews. would this be overkill on my tank?

Yes and also that isn't an evergrow light. You can tell because evergrow doesn't make d120 anymore and the knobs on that one are different than evergrows. That being said the d120 is a model being made by everyone in China and should be ok since you can dim but will most likely spill over a bit.

LOl, so it would be over kill =( lol back to the drawing board....

do you know of any economy LEDS? im not looking for SPS, but def LPS

The d120 is still listed on their home page...why do you say they arent making it anymore?

anyone?

Their webpage isn't really updated it is missing a lot of models they do make. They replaced it with the d2040.

To the OP it would work you might just have some light spill or maybe do 60 degree optics and just keep it turned down. The A4 they make is nice which I want to get but don't really know anyone selling it. I am actually looking for LEDs for a similarly sized tank so will let you know if I come up with anything.

I just bought the d120 on ebay about a few weeks ago. They changed the bulbs around alittle but it still awesome. I have one on 46 gallon with two par 38 bulbs on the side but i have another one on my 30 gallon anemone tank and its just perfect. Definitely recommend since its such a great value and Ive had the on my reef tank for about 6 months and its working great.

any idea on how high to hang it on a 30"l tank!?

 

[tomjof]

I have it about 10 inches above the water

I got one just to try it on my 27 gal. Not over kill you can control it. Worth the price if on a budget. Only thing it's a little bulky other than that its nice.

3 questions for you....

How high above you tank did you hang it?

How did you hang it?

What percentage do you have it at?

 

[Clink51]

bump?

 

[piranhapat]

About 10 inch over tank. It came with 2 different hanging kits. About 40 percent white and 50 percent blue

 

[Clink51]

you only got the white and blue one? i think im pretty sure i got the "full spectrum one" owell should be about the same! =) thanks

 

[piranhapat]

No it has green and red too. But you can't control them. You can?

 

[Clink51]

i havent gotten it yet, but im pretty sure they are controlled via driver 2, according to the specs ive been reading that is.

 

[piranhapat]

My are not from ever grow. But look the same let me see if I can find it.

the model # for the full spectrum fully programmable is the it2040..that's there smallest unit..they also have the it2060 which is (I think ) 36 inches long and they also have the it2080 which (I think) is 48 inches long.I had the it2040 over my 34 solana for almost a year with excellent growth and coloration on all of my corals.my tank is a mixed reef ...mostly sps. Excellent light!keep in mind these units come with 90 degree optic lenses which will intensify the output of the LED's and I highly recommend hanging them higher that 10 inches for a few months till your corals get use to them and also acclimate the corals to these lights(don't set them any higher that 30% on both settings ...they will bleach your corals!!!all and all they are worth every penny and then some..don't buy the D120! You will regret it later on down the line..save a few dollars for the it2040 you will thank me for it trust me!
