If you read this forum start to finish you will still not know if it is worth buying this fixture. Trust me it is one positive and a followed negative.
I would love to think different, as I would like to get one for my new tank. I think most would agree that the leds are too much money for low quality/repeated issues with the fixture.
Paying $700 for a 60" sunpower wouldnt get me so upset about fans being loud/needing replacement often. Now a $2400 unit with poor customer care would make me climb up walls angry.

A Sunpower with reefbrites for canopy users would be a better option, and in my case, an led T5 bulb for pop/dusk and dawn would be sufficient.

The use of white/red leds with this fixture is way overkill and not needed since the T5's offer plenty of light, unless one has a tall (24"+) tank
