hi guys...

I am new to marine.. wanna ask if MAXSPECT Razor 60W enough for 2.5ft by 50cm tank?

Depends on what you intend to keep, the general guideline is:

My suggestion is to buy lightset with higher watt so that you can adjust up if nesessary...

You just need to be prepare that if you get a 60watt, the side/ corner of your tank might be dim/ dark tho.

Hi TS , sometime it's wiser to spend a little more than upgrade in the next few mths time . U will lose more .

Lightings , skimmer , chiller etc ..

if its budget, good to get the Razor 120w instead as it will have a better coverage compare to the 60w. Come by to my showroom and i will show you some light set which you can see and make a better decision

cheers

What's your depth of your tank? I using 120w for 2ft cube. I've seen one bro here use 160 for his custom 27 inch tank working beautifully.
