Nicrew Classic LED for LPS and SPS corals

[RWhitt907]

I've got a 48" Nicrew Classic LED on a 75g, and was wondering if anyone had used this for SPS and LPS corals on a similar sized tank.

I have 2 150! Watt nice we and they are growing clams and corals.

The long lights are more for fresh water and spit par like that

They claim its for reef tank, I've got a handful of Zoas and mushrooms and they're doing great. I've seen someone keeping an anemone under it, granted it was a much smaller tank.

Idk, it’s probably fine but I wouldn’t keep expensive corals under something I’m not sure of the PAR. Hope it grows well!

Haven't tested it, they claim 108 PAR at 12" depth, figured I'd try a low end LPS

Right?
Both are called" classic" in part

Then there is this one:

Full honesty, I really wouldn't suggest just one of any of them for a freshwater planted tank.

The pictures won't load for me but it's the Marine LED 48" to 60" with the 2 channel timer

I edited my post above.

Last sentence has more to do with depth and width of the tank

i've used the freshwater one to grow plants just fine. It won't grow demanding stuff, but easy/medium plants did fine.

What size is the size of the actual light? I need 6 30” for 8foot lps/softie tank, don’t know if I need the 24”-30. Or 30”-36”

Go with Micromussa(Acans). I’ve had mine all over the place in par, but they definitely like it lower and there’s lots of great color combos to choose from

30-36. The light will be 30, extender will go to 36

These are very low wattage. Not suitable for sps.

Yessir, yaa was planning on just some cheaper nice looking softies & lps because I will have some non reef safe fish
