I had the nova extreme pro 20" T5. Daytime lights looks more natural to me, and the T5 actinics didn't fluoresce like the royal blue leds. I remember seeing a pic of just the maxspect blues on somewhere and thought the image was photoshopped, but the tank at sundown mode looks like an 80's basement with neon posters. 
Also didn't have the shimmer using the T5 that I missed when I had my 55g with 150w MH. So far i'm liking it. I bought a millie the day after I got the fixture on so I can keep a photojournal of it's growth under the light like that guy v00d00 on the RC thread.
I wanted to go LED from the getgo, but all of them were so expensive. This was my poor mans way of getting into the LED world (dimming and K temp control would be nice, but does a few hundred dollars in my pocket) Alan had originally mentioned them to me at his house while picking up some frags so I read up like everyone else has on RC. If you go by Alans, make sure to look at it with just the blues on.

ive got the 20 nep on my sh tank so i kow what ya mean on color, shimmer has never been a factor for me as i have almost always used t5's. and currently use on both tanks now, not looking to switch for color as i have that on my reef that i am happy with but looking to cut down on 311 watts of t5's on reef

Lol i have so many things on in my house I can't even keep a track of all the power we're eating up. But now that the 55g with MH is broken down, i'm sure i'm saving quite a bit with the difference. Also looking forward to a tank that's not overheating in the summer.

Not sure but here's a link to the rc thread on it. Check out Garage and f350 posts. Think f350 has a 150 gal.

Friend of mine got one from our GB. I ll ask him to post pictures and give his feedback on it. The g1 60w looks nice but theres only one switch to turn on both blue and white leds.

I can help setup a GB if it's allowed since we did a small one with 3 units.
