Read all your post and found them to be of credibility and contained knowledge. TY

They helped me to make my purchase.

IO did the 3 ocean revives for a 72" 215 for cost and quality. Despite the brs vid which their main negative point is the hot spot, I went with these cheaper units because they spread the leds out addressing much of the hot spot issue and had a small heatsink. Larger quiet fans are also easy to add


I almost did 2 X 300 mars aqua but really wanted to avoid the ground level lighting with color that needs adjusting before use.

Worst case with OR I can add a larger heatsink and get longer life out of them. The cost of these high dollar units like kessel and radion is hype and marketing.

Reefbreeders was my second choice, but I'm frugal and do not need sunrise and sunset I'm never home.
