Nice fixture, i am currently using the MAxspect for freshwater, the one at 8k. Incredebible quality.
Cool Al. I've been reading so much about anemone's lately but my concern is so many people saying that you need a very well established tank to introduce them. I've asked specifically how long, and almost all come back with at least 6 months to a year! That sounds so crazy to me but so many people are saying it that I'm thinking it may be true. Luckily I have the bulk of the expensive stuff bought, tank and light, lol. I have a skimmer lined up from a local reefer. I will be doing a shoot for him and his GT-R soon so he's giving me a great deal on that lol. I will make my own sump and I already have a return. The next most expensive thing will be my stand. I so over complicate stands that I am scared to even assign a budget to the build.

Build may be delayed a while. Not sure how long but family vacation money is a priority right now. Will try to get stuff here and there but this will definitely push it back some.

So, got around to temporarily installing this light on the discus tank. Still have my reservations, but it is brighter. I compared both simply by seeing how much I would be able to stop down before/after. Its about a 3 stop difference roughly.
Here are pics:
This is with the Aquatic Life LED light:

With Maxspect:

It allows me to take better pics without the flash, but still not the greatest. I didn't try shooting with wider aperture, but I figure it will be better since it will allow me to increase my SS
This is with the blue channel at 100% as well. Super, super bright, but not the type of lighting I am looking for in FW:
