I guess firstly let us know which unit you are getting with how many pads and how much its costing you. We can crap on about the bin lots not being sorted and the varations in the spectrum etc but lets see how they stack up on the basics first up.

thanks matt. my main +'s for the Mazspect was:
Ball joints so I can point them exaclty where I want.
Wireless control so I can set things exactly how I want as well as an LCD on the unit.
Ability to upgrade when I get my bigger tank, I dont need to sell this and get a bigger one, I can just extend it and get another 2-3 units.
Fully customisable LED's that are plug and play.
Plus, as I said I have been going to George for a very long time now and not once has he steered me wrong, he fully puts his name to this unit and that holds weight with me.

and how much is that costing you?
slin1977 is the Australian distributor for them, he should be able to give you all the specs and sales pitch on them.
They are a top end fitting though so may end up more pricey that the maxspect so thought it would be starting point for comparison

ok great. Happy to look at options. I dont think I am going to go for a unit that cannot be added to though. Not going to pay out for a unit that will be redundant to me in 18 months.
I am still trying to find some actual proof that its a better unit, I appreciate all the help but so far it has just been that people like the look of the unit, and they feel the light is better etc. I would like some specs as to why. A massive concern is that there is extremely little info available, if you go to maxpects website it gives you all you need to know in black and white, makes me feel safer buying it

yeah that is fair enough, go with what you are comfortable with. might also be worth looking at the Radion then, start off with one now and run 2-3 one the 5x2. If you are running a hood on the new tank you could get any 2 foot light fixture and have 2-3 postioned north south. alot of people do this.
they are popular in the USA, Im not a fan of the high mounting required to get the spread of light though. for FW tanks it seems cool because you tanks are not positoned that high but reef tanks generally sit a good 20cm higher which puts the lights shining into your eyes a bit. Thats one of the things i hated about MH
