AI hydra what is your budget?

How many feet is your nano ? If 2 feet , get maxspect razor 120 W .

[goodman123]

Mine is just 1.5ft

[carfyx]

1.5 - 2 ft - maxspect razor 120w

1ft of less - maxspect razor 60w

I am a maxspect supporter :x

But do look ard for other lighting for more options

How much is a new Maxspect razor 120W? How much if with support stand? Anybody know?

Maxspect is good lightset..

I think its 548 . It come with a hanging kit and leg stand. Check Delighting ( SRC sponsor )

I will recommend the Maxspect Nano 60w as it is quite slim and I have seen growth on my corals after using for more than a month. The 120w might not fit your 1.5ft as it is 52cm in width. You can checkout http://www.maxspect.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=20&Itemid=21

Hi Kohanson,

Thanks for pointing it out . If using the leg stand , it is slightly too long but should be just fine if you are hanging it using the hanging kit.

Personally i feel 60 W abit under coverage for 1.5feet. I could be wrong

[kohanson]

Carfyx, you are correct. The single stand that comes with the set will not be able to hold the light and light will bend at an angle. I have to custom made from delightings 2 stand in order to hold the light. If the light is used with the hanging kit, then 120w will be nice for 1.5ft tank! I use the 60w as it is cheaper at 350 and I dont intend to use any hanging kit but I would recommend the 120w if u will be hanging your lights.

By the way, is it true that MH+T5 combo give a better lighting as compare to LED?
