Mars Aqua leds

I know I'm probably the 100 person to create this topic.

I want to know from reefers who have experience with these lights.

Do you recommend them? What are the negatives of these lights.

Thank you!

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
