My last tank was a 280 with 2 Phoenix 14k 400watt halides/4T5HO- 2 blue+, and 2 coral+. This tended to be a bit bluish but was very livable. |

Before that tank I had a 240 with 4 Reef Radiance Prostars. That tended to be too purple on the blue side and yellow on the white side.

So most of the diffused light build i've found use the frosted diffusor panels. Has anyone used something more clear colored but with a ripple or pebble finish?
Im thinking about getting a few pieces of this to try, https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/it...2862&catid=704 |

Why don’t you guys just go and buy frosted or matted 3M vinyl film?

Hello all, I am setting up a new 120g reef 48x24x24 with sps and lps.
I am about to buy 3 of these 165w marsaqua lights and just wanted to ask 2 quick questions to those who have these lights: 1- Do you think 3 will be sufficient for my tank? 2- Do these lights provide the nice "Shimmer" effect I can get with Metal Halides or Pendant LEDS? Thanks in advance!

Any CBB run 120* optics like reef breeders? I see galaxyhydro may be the closest.

Perfect! Do you recommend buying GH or Mars or is the SB Reef basic worth the extra coin? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have 3 120W lights on a 72" tanks, 1 per 24/24 area. There is some shading but I like it. mars aqua have a hot sport directly underneath and are very strong lights. |

Anyone have any pictures of their tanks running these leds, with T5 supplements? I have 2 aquamars on my 90g, and overall I'm happy, but want to get a little more growth/pop out of my corals.
