Coralife Aqualight LED vs Aquaticlife XS

Chefwill · 06/29/2013, 08:14 PM

I'm currently using a 48" Coralife Aqualight metal halide but have been interested in LED fixtures for a while. The ballasts on my current unit went out so now I have been forced into a decision. I've narrowed in down to the aqualight led and the aquaticlife xs led. Both have features that I like including the fact that both are plug and play.

Does anybody have experience with either of these lights? Aside from price, what are some pro's & con's that standout to you?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Aside from price, they both look like really cool units. They both have a couple small advantages over EverGrow or Reef Breeder controlled fixtures. I'd like a better understanding of just how well these units do control the leds as the explanations are a bit short on specifics and at these prices, they better be GREAT! All I can say is I'm happy for you that cost isn't a factor.
