Tank Light Upgrades

[Grimmj]

Update: Thanks to Daniel for finding a second light I was able to get 2 unos. Arrived yesterday so I got them installed when I got home. These were running at about 50watts in this picture according to the app. I can't believe how much light these things put out. I set them to acclimate for 30 days ramping up to 50% power. Once there I might adjust more but I don't think I will need to as these things are monsters when it comes to output.

Second image is for comparison with the old current IC Pros. They were maxed on the blue channel almost no red no green and a little white.
Need to get a orange filter now for sure.

Looking good! Seem to be closer than I recall ReeFi recommends? Spread would be more even if you could raise them up a bit.

The picture is deceiving I think. I have them set at 7.5" above the water. The picture even makes the one look like its a few inches lower. The stair has a lip that interferes if I go higher. If I was to move the tank I would push it further away from the wall but its been there since we moved in 2017 and Im not planning to move again. Live and make mistakes

Based on the feed back here and on reddit I rotated my mounts to the sides and moved the lights up. They are now at 11" to the water and getting a very good spread in the tank. I'm hunting around for a used PAR meter now and plan on doing some more playing around with the photon app that has been posted here.

Overall very happy with the lights and their ouput. They are currently acclimating based on feedback from Daniel and I toned them down the program to the LPS. As I add more to the tank I can ramp up further as needed.

Ohh I like it! Good idea on relocating the mounts.
