Straton X

Has anyone seen any unbiased reviews? ๐Ÿ˜ A lot of hype and "influencers" repeating marketing claims, but I couldn't find any reviews from hobbyists. Maybe I'm not searching right? I'm currently in the market for lights and am considering these. Thanks!

    By the way, it's ok to talk about other lights too. ๐Ÿคฃ I'm looking to light up a 6 foot frag tank.

    I'd consider the Straton Flex, but I think ATI stopped production of the light which probably would have fit the 6ft length nicely. Otherwise 2/3 Xs might be needed. You're trying to keep sticks in the frag tank, right?

    I remember seeing the Flex in person. I really liked the look and thought they would provide good coverage and minimize shading. It doesn't look like they're available. The new quanta altair panel light looks promising. I might need wait to compare. But what do I do in the meantime? I have an empty tank and want new fish and coral. ๐Ÿคฃ
