FS: Maxspect 170W gen2 LED light system - The Reef TankWhat is he selling it for? Do you have the specs of the unit, or a link to them?
This is all that I have on the light...

Looks good to me, I would add a couple reds, and greens.FS: Maxspect 170W gen2 LED light system - The Reef Tank

That would work, use 60 degree optics to focus the light on just the clam, and make sure they are dimmable, so you do not harm the clam.I have question. Currently I have a 20 long with hammers, zina, polps and disc coral. All are doing fine under a Marineland reef LED. I would like to have a claim and I know that my current light will not support it. I was thinking of adding a par38 LED bulb, this bulb would be directly over the claim. What do you think? I've trird to reserach this bulb but can not find the watt of the stars the use other than 5 LED stars, 21watt and the K numbers.
The maxspect razor 120watt 14k looks good, your best option is always DIY.Hey I am putting together a tank and would like to run LEDs. It's a 24x24x24 cube, and I plan to start off with just some fish, anemones, and some beginner corals. I would like a prebuilt fixture, do you have any recommendations for me? Thanks ahead.
You will be fine. What I would worry about is the 10k whites, I would use 7500k CW instead.Hey, just another quick question. When I ordered my led kit I ordered all royal blue and no normal blue. I have 14 royal blue, 8 10k white and 2 UV bulbs. Is there a difference in blue and royal blue? And is it ok to have all royal blues and no normal blues? Or will it affect my growth?
If you go above 30% power, you will fry the diodes. I would do 3 Meanwell ELN 60-48D set at 1000ma max, and dimmed down. Also, at 3A a string, yes, they will take all of the amps they can, and burn out immediatly.Ok had my original driver on my DIY led setup die on me, so I am thinking of buying a regular power supply.
Here's my specs :
LEDs- 9 x 10w epistar emitters 12v 1000mA
3 emitters in series so 36v 1000mA , and 3 series for a total of 36v @ 3amp
The power supply I'm thinking about getting is 36v 9.2 amp max
It's rated at 100w continuous 350w max.
Will the LEDs run at the 3000mA or will they try and suck all the juice the power supply will give and blow themselves.
The power supply I was using was 36v 3000mA , so exactly the requirements of the emitters. The power supply I'm thinking about is the same voltage , but can provide more amperage. Will this cause an issue?
Thanks
Yes, that is the absolute maximum at 1300ma.Can you run 14 XPGs off of one mean well eln 60-40D driver?
Some people prefer nuetral white, as it has a large color curve, and low 450nm spike. I do not like this, more 450nm spectrum over other colors will provide better growth, and I like to add only the spikes corals benefit from, such as 410-430nm, 450nm, 630-660nm, and not as beneficial, but with a minor effect: 470-530nmWhy do people put both cool white and neutral?
I've seen some led fixtures that have all the leds in a round cluster.
Is there a advantage with them in this pattern?
Can I change the drivers to dimmable drivers?
Thank youYes, I will do the math for you
It looks like it is dimmableThank you
I asked the owner and he said it was not.
Thanks so for the help!You would have to take it apart. It is basically pre assembled diy
