My 180 is a marineland and has the black cross bracing. Daniel recommended 3 which is what I had thought would fit. I'm going mix but will probably be lps dom. He also recommended depending on mounting (canopy) 120° but if it's 12+ 90°. I'm thinking about cutting holes in the canopy and mounting the light on topkind of recessed into the top from the outside. Canopy is in "storage" currently so need to get it out. I think it's 10-11" from water to top inside.
Yup so far best response time I've had with a manufacturer or rep since I've been back in this hobby. Took maybe an hour to reply to my email and he answered all my questions in the first email. I had questions for another light manufacturer it took a couple days for the rep to reply. The only other positive response time and quality was @ReefEco who I need to get back with on my build changes...(lol sorry).
That’s a great plan!
From what I gathered at 10" with 120 lens 24x24 possibly a bit more.
This should answer all your questions. It's from the Reef-lab web site,
1 small fixture on a 4’x2’ tank is poor coverage.
That would be good for a softy tank, you might want some supplemental led bars or T5 for SPS.
You wouldn’t want 90 degrees on a tank that shallow. So I would think 120 or lenses removed to give 160
Possibly with the 120 lense on. You may eventually need to add a 3rd if acros were big. You will have plenty of par with 2 for that size tank.
I thought so too. But that video shows them lighting a 50 inch area. My frag tank is 4/2/1.
I have the uno 2.0s. They’re good lights, but they’re not magic.
I don't think there is a more powerful light made in the same form factor. It will even smoke a 2 bank led like the radio pro. The heatsink that is used in the Reefi speaks volumes..Beautifull tank, nice pics
Im also in the market for these,great spectrum but the PAR results seems to be so-so.... can anybody confirm this?
Mine function when my internet was down, they do put off their own ip address that you connect to. I suspect with the 120 lenses they could easily support that tank size, possibly with the 90. I guess when your acros get very large there is always a possibility you need 1 more to reduce shadowing.
Yes, no internet required but a wifi is. Once the lights are programed they stay in that config even if the wifi goes down. Wifi is just needed to program.
