Aqua mars 165w

[toni-italie]

Good evening everyone,
My future reef tank will be a 120x60x60.
What do you think of the led aquamars 165w?
I would like to maintain LPS and SPS, is it possible with this light?


Can you give me feedback and opinions? Pictures of your tank with these lamp?
Thank you [emoji6]

I've had them since October last year and bought three units at $269 for all. I have mine at 13" above the water line.

At first, there was some shadowing at the corners and started out at 10% whites and 20% blues. Took all my corals a couple of weeks to acclimate to the lights.

I then increased the intensity to 20-30. After a week all my colors begin to pale. I then lowered the intensity back to 10-20 and they regained their color. Now running 10-30.

I then decided to do something about the shadowing by removing the some of the lenses. That worked very well. No more shadows.

Since then they have proven to me that they grow coral very well and have not had one issue with them since. They are very powerful and are, in my book, worth every dime and would buy them again. Sps dominated, mixed tank.

Hope this helps

This is right after they went up. Don't have a current picture.

thank you for the answer
Did you remove all the lenses? These?

SBreef is a different brand that is a bit better.

However, if you want a great light that is economical the Aquatic Life XS-UV series would be great and would be able to do what you require and they are a great price.
