I ordered the giesemann futura 950mm i am contemplating ordering a second because of the depth of my new tank but i might just wait to see how it goes and then order another if i cant get enough spread or growth

Oh, sweet! Definitely a sexy looking fixture :D

Would it look sexier matte silver or gloss white over the elos?

id go white light then. but thats just me :P

Yeah white over a white stand :worship

I've ordered anodised silver but hasn't technically been ordered yet

I felt with the stainless steel light poles and anodised silver it would look sleek

possibly i still think white would be sleeker. not many lights come in a nice white

hi @leodb89,

Finally I found this post with a comparison between the 2 fixture I'm considering for my 1000 l reef tank !! (2,05*0,75*0,65 meters)
So thanks for that !! ...
Previously I had a 3*400W hqi from gieseman (SPECTRA) and want to move to a led fixture to reduce my consumption ... I was happy with gieseman quality (not a single issue in 8 years !) so I will probably go for the futura S ...
If i'm right you've been using this one for 3 years now so what is your feedback ? Still happy with that ? What was the effect on coral growth and colors ?

thanks

pierre
