What do you guys think about this layout?
The blues, listed as 470, are 460-470nm. |

I believe that green looking LED is in reality cyan with 490-505nm and you want to keep it

Green (500-530nm) mostly cancels whites but i'm using cyan(490nm) which has a slightly high rate of absorption for that. So, i'm comfortable with keeping that out. I think I also agree on the warm white. Though, it will help with reducing an over all windex coloration. Yeah, i've been toying with swaping chips for several years now. Not a big deal. |

Hi everyone.
Just got my Aqua Mars 165w for my 120 liter tank. I hung it 25 cm above water and I got a nice spread. For next days I’m keeping white and blue channel in the minimum, trying to aclimate everything. How many hours do you guys run your lights? Percentage of channels? Thanks! Enviado do meu iPhone usando o Tapatalk |

Yes use the 300w and dim it a bit. But the light spread is perfect

Who sells the LEDs to replace these? I have a few blues that look like they need to be changed.

I just got my lights set up a couple of days ago. They are an older version that I bought about 2 years ago. I noticed that the fans run all the time even at the lowest settings. Do they do that on the newer ones too? It seems unnecessary as the light barely feel warm to the touch.
luckily the fans are quiet. |

I have a 120”x38”x29” tank. 29” being the height. I was concidering the 300 watt versions for my tank. Would 5 of these work... one every 2 feet?

this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCSbukB3Ieg makes a lot of interesting points about these Chinese "black box" lights, to me the most worry-some is their use of super cheap non-UL listed power supplies which may pose a fire hazard, backed up by the fact that they don't seem to be sold by any retailer that one would have a realistic chance of suing if they burn something down
First question: Does anyone know a UL listed intermediate between these super cheap lights and the $650 level lights like the radion XR30w? I am finally thinking of converting over my 31" deep 300 gallon which is mainly lit by 1200W MH pendants and a couple of T5s and LED strips, I would want a lot of light

The second point the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCSbukB3Ieg makes about these Chinese "black box" lights is that they have a very focussed beam, with excessively high par values near the center of the beam that fall off precipitously near the edges. Is anyone aware of an equally detailed study of how the par values drop off after a diffuser is put in?
