Max spect razors help

Eddielee · 02/17/2013, 03:40 AM

Just wanted to know what everyone thought about mixing a maxspect razor 160W 16k and a 160W 10k over a 3ft cube placed next to each other in the centre

Would there be any ill effects and what theoretically would the spectrum be ?

I already have a 16 k and need to get another unit and I have chance if a 10k at a very good price

Do u all really think there would be a highly visible difference ? With The units next to each other the pucks would only be about 6 inches apart I would of thought the spread of light would mix with each other this is a cube not a long tank my other train of thought was that most of my live rock is at the back of the tank with the front of the tank mainly open space thought if I placed the 10 k at what I call the front it would fall mainly on open space also I could ace sps under the 10k side as its supposed to be better for growth and looks and Lps and softies under the 16 k side as its supposed to make them look better ? Or maybe I am just talking myself into this cause I can get the 10 k at a good price

I think the 10k would be too yellow in comparison to the 16k? It would probably be noticeable?

Pictures never come close to visual reality but this is my 160 10K razer with A:72 B:78 and does not have a yellow tint has a true bluish white IMO! The settings would need to be adjusted to match the 16K but possible.
