How are the Mirage lights holding up?

Holding up isnt even a question, what has happened is increasing growth and color! I literally have had to triple my dosing levels i went from 55ml to 170ml and still setting at a lowered alk now. At the install i was stable at 8.7dkh. Now im down to 7.7dkh, trying to slowly get back above 8dkh.How are the Mirage lights holding up?
My previous light setup was 4 x t5, and a 5ft led. That led is the previous light from ledzeal. They discontinued it when they made the mirage. That light is a malibu s400, i gave it to a buddy who is using it over his frag tank.Good to hear... I am more concerned about the long term performance of the lights. I have been running similar lights for the last couple years. I noticed that the LED started dimming and now some are going out. I'm sure they are pushing more amps through the diodes to get more PAR causing a decrease in life expectancy. Was wondering if LED Zeal was doing the same thing.
I am looking to purchase 6 the the X200. The blue series looks a little too blue for me
Email [email protected]Where do I finding pricing info on the X300 (36") lights?
And thats for lights i would put toe to toe with the g5 blue radions!X200 master : 239 USD wifi inside
X200 slave : 209 USD
UPS to US: 59 USD For Each Light
Absolutely, the x300 blue will. As i stated i removed an led/ 4x t5 setup when i installed these. Growth and color has jumped leaps and bounds.Just starting with a build, would the x3000 super blues have enough par and coverage for a standard 75 gal for sps. Don't want to snooze and loose
Stocking plans?I emailed him on my 60x36x25 will see what he says
How high do you keep the lights off the water? I am having a hard time deciding If I should use 60 degree lenses on the outside (450nm) diodes. I have decided on 90 degree diodes on all the rest.Ok. Here is my recommendation. Either 3 x200, or x300 running front to back. The x200 will do it, but i like overkill. On my 8x30x2 im installing 6 x200 this way. On my 8x3x2 im installing 6 x300 in this fashion. Both are going to be full sps with rock structure top structures mostly at 12-15inches off the bottom for the peaks but a lot of it will be around 6-8 inches. I want the bases low giving plenty of room For them to grow into full colonies. Stocking will be mid to highend corals.
Id definitely not do 90, or 60 degree lenses. I used 120 degree lenses. My layout has no reds at all so i dont know what layout your confusing as mine is. My lights are 13inches above the water. Running at a max ouput of 59% per channel.How high do you keep the lights off the water? I am having a hard time deciding If I should use 60 degree lenses on the outside (450nm) diodes.

Also, I found that the X200 equivalent to G5 Blue on the LED Zeal website was not quite right, so I made my own configuration. For the G5 Blue equivalent I used Amber instead of Photo Red diodes. If you want to make it exactly like G5 Blue just use Photo Red (660nm).
I also made a configuration that matches the G5 Pro. My G5 pro equivalent has a couple turquoise LEDs. If you want it to be exactly the same as the G5 Pro, replace the turquoise with 65K diodes.

Id just get 4 x200 or x300 blue. At 50% ive got complete coverage an my 6x2x2 with 3 x200. Ran long way. If you turn them to run front to back you will be set and need less lights so half the expense. That money can be spent on coral!My tank is 6' by 3' by 27" tall. I will also be using 6 X200s. 3 Pro configured and 3 Blue configured. How long did it take to receive your lights?
Have to many coral.. and like a lot of light! Would prefer to have too much light and turn them down rather than not enough.Id just get 4 x200 or x300 blue.
