Led light for sps.

[marshalll]

Hi guys. Would like to hear some advises from you guys.

For maxspect led, is 110w enough to sustain sps? It's stated that 110w led is equivalent to 150w mh. So does that mean 110w can barely make it?

How is the light penetration like?

Always have the mentality that led is not strong enough and corals have to be put very high up the tank.

Also, anybody uses both led and mh for the tank? Any problems?

Thanks for my many questions asked.

I using led maxspect 60w only for my sps

So far so good.. Maybe because

My tank is pretty shallow?

Maxspect 110 only enough for 1.5-2 feet tank.

Bro yr tank is 3ft plus ,should get a higher range one.

Led + MH ( ? )

Getting good result using led + T5.

Anyway, I am using 2X250W MH for my tank now. Overall it's doing fine for those sps in the middle. However, as the width of my tank is 2.5feet, I feel that the front and back of the tank is not getting enough light thus half of the sps facing the front is slightly more brown as compared to the other half facing the light.

Thus, I'm thinking of pushing the MH to the back and adding LED in the front to increase the coverage.

Will adding t5 be a better choice?

This is a pic of my tank with the light.

And the scape of my tank.

just a suggestion.. move slightly forward and lift up ur MH abit higher.. use mirror to reflect down to the back of the tank?

699 for one cannon? Den how many would I need? Think too chor alr...

[marshalll]

Hi bro, hmmm lifting higher will mean that the light will not be as strong right?

[marshalll]

Any bros have suggestions for t5?

I'm thinking of having 2 sets of two tubes to supplement my tank at the front and back. 2 tubes. One white one blue each.

How many watts should I go for?

[peacemaker]

If the length of your tank is 3ft, then you should go for 36" T5HO tubes (39W). I would suggest using 2x ATI Blue+ instead of 1white 1 blue combo. Check with Razali (Dr Evil) from DELightings.
