You can also check out some of the tank under the Member tank & Specs section which are using this light.

i did but always go off track after looking at their corals and sps haha

What corals u plan on keeping? If sps u need G2-230w like the one i'm using, if just softees n Lps then G2-160 or 180 will do. Heres the link to DELightings http://delightings.com/index.cfm?GPID=30 or u can contact Razali directly from the sponsors' section in this forum. Also if budget isn't a problem then go for the cree LED upgrade, the color pigments of the corals really stand out with the cree upgrade. Prices all stated at the DE website.

The best thing about Maxspect G2 is the ability to replace a spoilt led bulb. See if other led maker offer this with their led light set.

i think the newer maxspect G3 has the timer control on the unit itself. somehow i would prefer to have them seperate like the G2.

G2 and G3 prices around the same? can it do effects like sun rise and sunset? i;m not keeping sps but i will get atleast 160w because my tank is 2.5 in height.

that is not very true , i have seen in US tank that 160 W can also keep SPS but the issue is that if u have 4ft tank , g2-230W is not suitable and you will need to use 2x G2-160W to fit into the tank nicely otherwise the corners of the tank will be very dark ..

And now i am so happy with this lighting ....

G3 is going to be very expensive ....

2 units of 160w = $1440 (w/o Cree upgrade) just to cover a little more dark areas vs 1 unit of 230w = $1150. The other issue is of cos why ppl are choosing LED units in the first place, which is to save on electricity bills & eliminate heat.

2 x 160w = 320w vs 230w ... u do the math. But like what i mentioned earlier if a person is big on budget he can put 10 units of lighting over his tank for all i care.

For me, why I choose 2 x 160w is to replace 2 set of 4 x 54w T5 light set for my 422 tank.

i'm going to drop the LED idea, sticking to my MH =)
