Which LED lightest will you use?

[Boonboy]

Curious to know which LED lightset is most trusted by SPS reefers...

[Evolutionz]

should allow multiple choice! and more options too..

Right now IMO the best to the least best fixture for SPS if $$ not an issue :

GHL Mitras

Maxspect Razor

Kessil

Pacific Sun

Orphek

Evergrow/ReefBreeders

Aqua illumination (only the Hydra and Hydra 52)

Radion (only the Pro)

All the above can grow SPS or color up them well but you have to factor in other issue to determine the best.

If $$ is an issue, the best bang for the buck LEDs will be :

Maxspect Razor

Evergrow/Reefbreeders

The Kessil or the new Maxspect Celestial uses single source multi-chip leds instead of the cluster led we usually see. I believe this should be a game changer espcially the maxspect celestial is cheaper then the kessil and yet programmable.

my vote will go to Vega becos Vega is the only led lightset tat can change the led bulb anytime so no need to upgrade new model ... i have good sps grow and color up under Vega for just 2 months result ...

I vote for Orphek Atlantik :score: :thumbsup:

Let the pics do the talking. Most of the corals are with me more than 6 months, some are from tiny frags, some are form small colony

[sunnymau]

Under the blue and actinic

[sunnymau]

Digitata, this piece grow like crazy..

[sunnymau]

Spatulata? No sure if I spell correctly. This piece is holding color well with solid growth!

[sunnymau]

SSC from tiny tiny frag, with me for months and radioactive BN from tiny tiny frag too. Under blue and actinic.

[sunnymau]

Red millie, been with me for at least 8 months

[Evolutionz]

nice corals! a pity they dont use CREE or luxeon LEDs

[sunnymau]

Overall

[sunnymau]

I using single unit and it give me solid coverage over my 3x2x2..

Haha..

What cree, luxeon and what not I don really care that much la.. I am not so technical person, I trust more on experience

MORE importantly I like the color, the growth, the coverage, the style..

Cheers!

[sunnymau]

Btw, I have been using Orphek lighting from day one of setting this tank, no regret!

Will post more pics when free..

I would say yes and no.

Yes if you are comparing 1unit to 1unit of other brand, it does cost more.

However, if you consider the coverage it provide then it is not that expensive at all.

For other lightset you might need atleast 2 units or even 3 units to provide the same coverage as single Atlantik, when you add up the cost, it will be similar in price or more ex than orphek.

And asthetically (fro rimless) , less lightset hanging give you better looking setup and less messy with less wire running..

Cheers
