Maxspect Razor 160W 16000K 27" over a 48" tank?

dburt520 · 09/07/2014, 12:23 AM

I currently own the Maxspect razor listed in my title and it is on the provided legs over a 36" tank (40B). I am thinking about upgrading to a NEO 105 (48X24x21) and was curious if this light would be sufficient? I could hang it higher obviously, and with the 120Deg lens kit I was curious if the spread/par would be enough? I would likely not be keeping SPS, mainly LPS with a nem or 2 (which I already keep with this light at roughly 55% settings (A channel 45%, B channel 65%).

I have read a lot of threads that say yes, and a lot that say no, however most of these are from several years back when the light was first released. Was curious if anyone has done this successfully.

Thanks
Dave
