Anyone use evolution 100 leds

[kwandrsn]

I have a 36 gallon reef tank
Currently using a 130 watt 30" dual pc with a 10k and a 460

I have the chance to get a evolution 100 led light used for $175

It says it covers a 24" tank and mine is a 30" tank

It also says it has 460 blue 450 blue 6500white and red and green leds I thought I needed 10k or higher. The guy I am getting it from is running the same light on a 36" frag tank and had both of them on a 125gallon display tank.

Will this do good on my tank and how high do I need to mount it and I was also told I needed to slowly acclimate my corals to it over a couple of months is this true.

Any feedback would be great

Also anyone using this light... Do you like it

My friend just received his Evo 200 and it was bright as advertised. Only problem was it runs 2watt LEDs instead of 3watt.

To have the best par for corals most reefers prefer 3watt led as they produce the best light penetration for corals.

Reefkoi Evo only use 2 watt LEDs. Although they are good I would rather go the 3watt route. Vendors like reefbreeders offer 3watt at same price.

I'm just a little worried about the coverage. My tank it's 30" long and kinda deep cause it's a bow front. I, also use egg crate as a lid.
