I'd love to see some reefs illuminated by this fixture, I'm about to buy one and am pretty excited.

P.S. - Are there any coupon codes at this time? Thanks
 
I understand, I'm fine with pics like that though, I'd just like to see a few reefs under the lighting
 
Here are a couple from a video contest we ran not too long ago:


This tank is running Gen 1s, the video was sent in by one of our original clients recently:

There's a third video we have yet to post to YouTube- I will get that upload started now.
 
I’ve been running a v2 16+ model for a few months over a Red Sea max tank. I have had great results so far. Made the tank look 100% better and even my wife likes it more.

Those videos are awesome, I especially liked the 225, that tank has more aquascaping in one corner alone than my entire tank.
mb your tank is really cool too, those corals look so healthy
 
All these tanks are awesome, buying one asap
 
I guess I forgot to mention mine arrived and the tank is looking great

What setting are you using? I'd like mine to look more like that.

For this look I'd wager Maac has the blues set to 40%, Ch4 (white) set to 25-30% and 5-10% on red/green .

That's how I had mine set at first and it looked very similar to this, but found it to appear too yellow for my liking so I dropped the white to 15% and increased the blues to 45%.
 
Hmm, I'm running blues around 80%, white at only around 20, I'll see what it looks like in my tank. It's been my experience that zoas looks better under blues, and I have a lot of zoas.
 
You have to remember that these are very powerful lights. On my 75g with the light mounted 8" above the waterline the blues at 45%, white at 17%, red at 10%, and green at 7%. I'm getting 125 PAR on the sandbed at 20" depth directly under the light and 225-250 PAR at the top of the rockwork. In the corners it falls to 70 in the back and 90 in the front corners. If possible you might want to see if you can borrow a PAR meter and take some readings. You might be surprised at just how high they are in your tank with the blues up that high.
 
I'll scale it back, my tank is pretty shallow
 
What settings are you using?

Just as an update, here’s mine, I’m really happy with it. When I first bought it didn’t want to post FTS because of a mild cyano outbreak, it’s gone now and here’s the tank. Thanks @Reef Breeders for an awesome light.
