Maxspect mazarra-p setup advice
Got my unit up and running on my 24x24x20 cube using the default optics hung approximately 1 foot from water surface. Not sure if that's the optimal setup for best performance.
What do you guys recommend for optics for my tank? Should I change it out to 100 optics? How high up should it be mounted from water surface? If I need to change the optics, should I change all if them to the 100 degree optics or just the outer pucks? Thanks! |

The lights look great! I had to play around with some of the settings as I like the look of 20k MH and the intensity is pretty bright. There is however that "disco ball" effect on some spots on the tank but it doesn't really bother me too much.
How high do you guys have the fixture above the tank? Which optics should I use? |

Mine is also 8" off the tank using the tank mount option. I have all 100* optics. Thinking of switching the whites to 70* and see how my coral take to it. Im starting to stock sps so its all trial and error.
