Maxspect Razor - Page 27

scunfcu · 07/02/2013, 11:44 AM

Maxspect Razor 16k want to get Atintic pop affect. Interested in showing sps/lps colors instead of growth. What A and B combo should I try?

dunc101 · 07/02/2013, 11:47 AM

I personally like 100% Blue, 60% white. I keep mine at 100% blue, 90% white, however just to get more PAR for my SPS =).

100 blue/ 60 white and 100 blue, 90 white give more blue look?

No. I need the extra PAR for my SPS which is why I have my whites at 90% when it is all ramped up for better growth. My favorite look of the corals, however, is whenever my light hits the 100% blue / 60% white during ramp down for the night.

Pretty much exactly what I do. I let the white channel peak during the day, at 3 PM, IIRC, while I'm at work, which makes my SPS happy. As the day wears on, and I get home, the white has dialed down, favoring the blue channel, which looks better (to my eyes). Best of both worlds really. SPS get what they need, I get to see the best color rendition later in the day/at night.

Dunc - how deep is your tank? You run your white channel higher than me (I peak at 75) I'm curious about your tank depth, and what kind of distance from the fixtures your SPS are at. I've bleached out 2 SPS so far, including an Acropora milliepora, which I didn't think was possible given their light hungry-ness.

Speaking of, to those who think that LED's, especially the Razors aren't powerful, (probably no one in this thread) put that in your reactor and smoke it

My tank is a standard 90 gallon, so 24 inches deep.

I tried searching in this thread, but anyone have any idea how a 20" 120W would look over a 40 breeder? I know everyone suggests at least one 27", but I'm mostly going for the look since I'll be doing only zoas/palys, so I'm just worried about spread. If you guys don't think it'll work, I'll probably have to go with a 24" reefbreeders to save money.

lilyost4290 · 08/29/2013, 08:13 PM

Anybody try the nano? I was thinking three of those over a standard 55g? Or would I be better off with 2 of the 120

I use the nano over my 15g and the 20" over my 29g. Really happy with them. I'm gearing up to replace the 29g with a 90g so I'll be purchasing another 20" soon.

For me, since I have a canopy, having the two control pads on the inside facing each other was the way to go, or I wouldn't be able to use them on the opposite ends.

I want this connecting rod, but it would have been nice to electronically link both units and controlled simultaneously from one...and heck, even share a power supply so less danglers.

DRBRUCE · 08/30/2013, 04:50 PM

16k Razor too much for zoas, mushrooms, and softies?

that Fish Guy · 08/31/2013, 09:01 AM

Live from MACNA.

The new CoraVue Maxspect Razor (R420R) LED was announced today!

It is bigger and has an entirely new set of LED's with new optics giving it more spread too.

The "Disco Balling" effect is said to be Fixed with this New Razor.

I wonder if the Older Razors will get the Upgrade too?

What do you guys think?

Don't know if this will help you any but here's the 20" 120 on my nuvo38.

That would be 900 Dollars.

The new one that was just announced is made for a 4 foot tank.

It will be less than 900 and you get get 25% more light.

Less Money More Light.

That is a no brainer.

lilyost4290 · 09/02/2013, 11:46 AM

When's the new one come out? I can't find anything about it

I would imagine in a Month or two.

It was announced and shown at the CoralVue Maxspect booth at MACNA last weekend.

lilyost4290 · 09/02/2013, 12:43 PM

My interest is piqued. I may hang on and grab one of those. Any idea on price?

chris@CoralVue · 09/17/2013, 07:42 AM

Thanks for all of the great photos of the Maxspect Razors over your reef aquariums!

I would like to ask permission from tropic, smartwater101 & ludecrasher to post your photos on the Maxspect LED Facebook page.

Please email photos to chris@coralvue.com

Thanks,

Less disco effet would be really nice, i have two 420 16 k on my 180 and that is a bit distracting.otherwise, the razors are fine.

chgries · 09/19/2013, 08:07 PM

I have the 16k 120 x 2 over my 110 gallon tank. My SPS are getting burnt tips. I was wondering if this could be because I have my lights turned up to high. I had them set at A 65 B 85. I was also thinking it could be unstable alk.

In my experience, this is related to a change in alkalinity too fast. If it was too much light, they would more than likely bleach.
