View Full Version : Reef Optix 3 Plus HQI vs ReefStar HQI
Just curious which of these two reflectors would provide the best PAR readings (24" depth):
1) Reef Optix 3 Plus HQI Pendant Reflector by Sunlight Supply
2) ReefStar HQI by Hamilton Technology
Not looking for other suggestions.

I have had them both, the ReefStar offers a little more coverage and the RO111 is more of a spot, both will be more than adequate of a 24" depth but I suspect the RO111 will give a little higher par because of the spotlight effect. I actually liked the ReefStar better but I needed to spread the light out more on the tank it was over. I still have the RO111 in a closet.

I just got my RO3 and it light up my 40 gallon pretty well. I like it.
