Maxspect Razor - Page 19

The 16 isn't all that blue it still has plenty of reds, whites and warm white. Most people with the 16k still run the blue channel higher than the white.

What is the best setting to get the best color whitout bleaching the SPS.

Thanks - mine currently peaks at 80% & 100%. I haven't really had any concerns with bleaching - just prefer the bluer look at that setting. If you want to go higher, you could dial channel A up 5% a week until you reach 100%. Best of luck to you!

updated time sequence
1-10:00 a 0% b 0%
2-11:30 a 37 % 50%
3-13:30 a 74% b 100%
4-18:30 a 74% b 100%
5-20:30 a 37% b 50%
6-22:00 a 0% b 0%

This light has a beautiful spectrum! even at lower percentages. Im very impressed! I will slowly be ramping the daylight A channel, but for now im taking it slow until I figure out the percentage that overall looks the best and makes the corals look amazing. My hands are still tied if I want it more blue or less blue...but that grain of salt comes with LEDs! soo happy I don't have to change/buy bulbs to get the color I want especially at $20 dollars a pop roughly.

Has anyone been able to use the mounting system for this fixture on a Nuvo 38G aquarium? The tank is JUST under the 24" minimum requirement for the mounts according to MaxSpect's website.

meshwheel · 01/24/2013, 02:57 PM

MIke,
How are you? And how are the corals? How are your colors doing?

Thanks!

Yea, please do! The style and performance of the Razor would compliment the Nuvo tank very well

GSMguy · 01/24/2013, 04:58 PM

There is a guy in the nano forum with a 120w and a Nuvo 16 but I don't know if he has tried the legs. I considered all the options and felt that the 120w razor was the best bang for my buck on the Nuvo 38. Coralvue said mine won't show up for two weeks.

Jewlover · 01/25/2013, 01:09 AM

Would one you guys/ladies mind taking some measurements for me please? I need to know the dimensions of the led pads as well as the space between them.

Thanks
Dustin

Lonestarcep · 01/25/2013, 06:37 AM

Jewlover · 01/25/2013, 11:16 AM

O yeah sorry the 160w model.

paul89 · 01/25/2013, 04:37 PM

I will be getting this light soon, probably in 2 weeks. I will post pictures of before and after from my old light setup to my new razor. I can't freaking wait!

Chromey316 · 01/25/2013, 07:00 PM

Im thinking Of jumping on 2 160W myself.

On the 27" the pads are about 3 1/3" × 3 2/3". Thats not exact but pretty close. They are spaced approx 3" apart.

Prince916 · 01/27/2013, 10:04 PM

Is the 160w 27" or 24"?

austin56column · 01/27/2013, 11:25 PM

27"

austin56column · 01/28/2013, 10:55 AM

Hung lights over tank. Pretty happy with results

austin56column · 01/28/2013, 10:56 AM

GSMguy · 01/28/2013, 10:57 AM

Almost invisible, nice. I would replace those glass lids with a DIY screen top.

austin56column · 01/28/2013, 10:59 AM

Purchased ss rods to connect all lights to avoid hanging each individually.

austin56column · 01/28/2013, 11:00 AM

Now to find something fish related to replace the dale jr mirror with.. lol

ultimate125 · 01/30/2013, 03:11 PM

what's the maxspect razor recommendation for a 6' 125g?
3 20"?
2 27"?

I have an aggressive tank with some hardy corals...
would these lights be overkill for me?

thanks!

Adjust the mounting bracket and it fits fine over a Nuvo 38. If you angle the glass cover properly, you can remove the cover without moving the lights.

austin56column · 01/30/2013, 04:58 PM

Depends how many braces your tank has. Pics above is 3-20's but i have two braces

3 20" if you have 2 braces. 2 27" if you have 1 brace.
