Maxspect Razor 160K Enough for a 3x2x2ft Tank?

[anmiheng]

Hi, is the Maxspect Razor 160K enough to cover a 3x2x2ft tank?

Limited budget so can't get other brand to try.

Plan to add on 2x24W T5 too.

Please advise.

Thank you.

160w u mean? Yep enough esp u are planning to add another 2xT5. But get the razor first then see if u still need the T5 supplementation. How high u hang the light also matters.

Haha......yes Sir, 160W, paisei.

160w for 3x2x2 with stand will be fine bro. I'm also considering supplementing my light with t5 to get more colour pop.

Thanks Bro, adding T5 is for viewing pleasure or it really helps to bring out more colour?

Sorry, can I just replace the 2ft tube to 3ft?

Can the balast support it?

Thank you.

The T5 is typically used to bring out the colours of the corals. And no, the 2 feet tube ballast cannot support the 3 feet tubes. Otherwise everyone will try to do that to save money.

You can decide on using either 2 feet or 3 feet depending on the coverage you want and height that you are hanging the lights.

All the best.

It's enough as I m using this setup too and the colour and result are brilliant !

I think is good to supplement with t5ho .. nope 2ft t5ho 24w cannot be used for 3ft tubes .. I think they need 39w tubes and balast instead ..

I bro, I bought 180W with 120 degree lens for my 3.5 x 2 x 2 tank. I have only FOWLR, later planning to start with LPS. Not sure this is enough or not.
