Lighting under $1000 for 72" sps tank

[Hunkles]

Each quanta atlas will cover 36” so you would only need two. It’s a 14k look and people that have it, love it. 720 leds per fixture.

I'll definitely consider them then but the noophsyche is currently winning me over. I'll probably bounce between a few of the options suggested here for a few days before deciding.

I also have 6 Noopsyche K7 V3 and the controller/app is pretty bad, but otherwise they’re good lights. I bought mine years ago when there wasn’t someone who can ship from within the US and mine took a few weeks to receive but were worth the wait for the cost.

Just double checked. Quanta is 36x36 coverage with the reflector

A 30” wide tank would be may be difficult for noops

Is there anything you'd say you couldn't grow under them?

You're starting to pull me towards these quanta lights. Are they programmable at all or just on/off lights?

On off and I believe there is a high and medium setting

My buddies tank with them
72” I believe

He said with these leds you can just take pics with a phone, no need for a filter. Just like the old days

Just throwing this up an a mounting option for k7s but would work with others I'm sure ;)

I have enough of them that I run them incredibly low and my par at the top of the tank is still around 400. They can grow anything you want assuming you have enough of them.
You are right that their website is sketchy looking though. I’ve ordered from them 3 times and besides slow shipping I’ve never had any issues.

What is that mounting option called exactly? Or is it diy

 

[VintageReefer]

@ReeferZ1227 can you add feedback / pics of your tank under the quanta atlas lights ?

These are my noops at 12" high on my tank (36" wide X 18" deep X 12" Tall)

I like a fuller sprectrum with a purple tint.

It was DIY designed by @Reefer Reboot who no longer hangs out here :crying-face:

Wish I could buy them without the arms my tank has a fat euro brace. But I'll consider them

The Gen 2 mounts work with euro brace. I’m moving mine over to an aluminum extrusion bar but you can see how they’re mounted to the eurobrace

I’m running T5 LED hybrid on my 72” tank. You can’t beat it for SPS.

Do the lights connect by Bluetooth to each other or by a daisy chain?

Thanks for posting that I don't know why I didn't think of putting them like that.
