Maxspect Razor - Page 29

loganlemaster · 11/28/2013, 07:14 AM

Im running a 160 watt 27" razor over my 36x18x12 rimless tank. Its 12 inchess above the water. Tallest rock in my display is 5-6 inches. Im keeping some sps but not sure if im underlighting them. Im running an 8 hour photoperiod 2hr ramp up 4hr at 10w 30b 2hr ramp down. For those of you with experience with this light does this seem reasonable. My sps isnt browning, but i also dont want to fry it. Any thoughts or suggestions would be awesome. Thanks.

I would definitely turn it up a notch or two...

I run my 10k Kelvin Razor on a 32x24x20 tank at 75% white and 90-100% blue for 8.5 hours/day (not including ramp-up and down) and my corals like it so far (was running a bit lower during acclimation). I have it about 6-8 inches from the water surface.

I think i will try increasing slowly each week. Thanks

chgries · 11/28/2013, 09:07 AM

I also run 2 T5's

meshwheel · 11/28/2013, 09:26 AM

whats the reasoning behind running the 2 T5's? For better spread?

27" razor 16k over a 48x24x14" sps dominated tank :

Max settings at A:80% B:100%. total of 8 hours at this level.

The tank just turned 1-year old this weekend and most of those corals have been in the tank for 6-10 months. Here's a FTS:

Time for more sticks! That it a NICE tank!

Thanks tigrtraps. I haven't bought Razor yet. I just noticed that 300W version came out and here in europe its price equivalent to 2x120W.

Thus I will most likely go directly to 300W. It is of course overkill to my tank but I can always run it on lower % and that would hopefully give leds some extra lifetime as well. And if I ever get bigger tank I will have enough illumination to that too.

Love the maxspect razor profile, love the light rack that Sps coral store made for me.

Thanks!

Thanks!

its a single 27" 160w 16k Razor, hung 18" above water level.
its a great light set, cheap for what you get and MUCH better then some of those "high end" led lights.

I have a couple of magnet rocks on the back of my tank when I get new frags. Once I see they are doing pretty good then I move them where I want them in the tank.
