Mars Aqua Dimmable 165W 300W LED

I have this light on my 55 gallon saltwater tank. Anyone else have it? Is it suitable for growing hard/soft corals?

I have them and they grow SPS like crazy. It is powerful for all types of corals, but make sure you test the par to know if it’s too low or too high.

I have no idea how to test par in my tank -- the manufacturer reports par for this light at 28.

You may want to get a second one to spread the light out more.

lets say . . . its capable with the right balance.
Yours seem to be very high above the tank. I recommend 12-14" above water line

It is 13" above the waterline. Do you run it wide open? Full intensity both sides all day?
