Yea im looking at diffrent once cant spend 1000s on lights but dont want to buy junk ether

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Those are fine. A lot of folks use them with no problems at all for years.

Keep looking a little if budget is an issue you can usually find them for 80 each for the same brand.

Def look at the wifi versions too. Usually about $125 a piece. Ramping and timers are really cool.

Sbreeflight is the next step up from those mars you posted. About $135. Each. USA seller.

I have one and love it.

I use them with great success. Don't believe the hype BRS generated. They are out selling radions by a mile and BRS can't take it anymore, thus the bashing. Thousands of reefers use them globally without issues.

I've been reefing a long time, took a year researching them before buying them and never found any issues with them and recommended them. And I would buy them again.

Which once?

Mars Aquas. Salty's recommended sb reeflights are a step up from the Mars units and would be an excellent choice as well.

Ok thanks

Not true.

 

[happyhourhero]

Agreed with the above. I would spend a few extra bucks and get SB reef lights.

 

[Heliarc19]

What size tank, dimension, and what is the final goal for your tank?

 

[John welch]

Its a 20x20x6ft and a want it too be a mix reef tank in the end

 

[Heliarc19]

I personally don't think you would be happy with just two of these on 6ft by themselves, maybe 3, or 2 with some t5 to fill in dark areas.

The one im looking at now is a 3 set.

3pcs WIFI Version Dimmable LED Aquarium Light For Coral Reef Marine Fish Tank

 

[Heliarc19]

I would imagine that will do it, just play with the mounting hieght before permanently installing them.

 

[John welch]

Ok thanks
