SRC Member brojj Posted July 1, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 1, 2013 Your left & right (length wise) will sure have problems getting lights, unless you dun plan to put any corals there that must need light to survive. Eg: sun corals, feather dusters are corals that requires target feeding/ filter feeders instead of light to survive, can be put there. Even then, u also don't mind having dark areas in your tank.

SRC Member Evolutionz Posted July 1, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 1, 2013 i don't have any par meter to measure. my razor max at A:65%, B:75%. so its not even close to full power.. SPS are doing very well. alot people underestimated the power of LED.. end up bleaching their corals.

kraken Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 LEDs are very intense lightings, however, depending on the optics, throw distances are a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melwood1978 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 i don't have any par meter to measure. my razor max at A:65%, B:75%. so its not even close to full power.. SPS are doing very well. alot people underestimated the power of LED.. end up bleaching their corals. So we are using the same lightings... If put 2 razor 120w for 4 feet will it be over bright?

SRC Member Evolutionz Posted July 3, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 3, 2013 No I would say 2 120w razor would be perfect for 4ft. Too bad I don't have the budget for that.

SRC Member brojj Posted July 4, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 4, 2013 Yes, for 4ft need to get 2 sets of 120W for good coverage. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
