Hi bros n sis, for a 2ft x 1.5ft x 1ft tank what is the best led lighting for corals n fish tank? Can I mix rw8 n rw4 together for the master n slave mode ?

[Daniel Poh Yang Zheng]

yes u can do that for the rw wave maker:.. as for light..it depends on ur Budget and what u wanna keep in future.. if just fish only.. a normal Led will do; if lps and softies..maybe a more powerful light

So if let's say maxspect which model shd I get for 2ft full spectrum? Cuz planning to have more corals 

[Solo77]

Ur tank size, rw8 may be too strong. For LED, there many and determines by yr budget n intention on wat to keep. Maxspect is one that u can explore, sanrise also. Otherwise, look for second hand t5 lightset

Ok so how many Walt led shd I look into for maxspect n sanrise?

For 2ft, one rw4 good enough. If you want to venture into lps, actually even a cheap led like a green element is good enough.but I personally enjoy the customization and intensity of the higher end lights like the AI hydra and Kessil A360 series. At least I know if I want to go full blast for sps, I can. If not, I can just tone down. At least there's choice. But beware that strong lights kill corals fast while low light just makes them grow slower, so approach them carefully

One rw8 can't blow off the poop as I have number of LR in the center. As for lights I have to place zoas on the top of the tank in order for them to open big that's y I'm thinking to venture into better lighting

For lighting go for AI prime, Hydra 26HD  or Kessil A160w or A360w both fully controllable, if have the budget.

When u upgrade u can still use back.  

I'm using one RW 4 in my 2ft and it like typhoon. Have to set to lowest to prevent sand storm.
