Does anyone know the difference in the optic types on this fixture( one smooth and one ridged on the sides) and if so which optic goes where on the fixture?

Thanks

Dillct,

I have a photon 48, do you know which optics go to which bulbs?

I believe they only put 120's on the Reds. Unless the unit was special order.

Nope no special order, just your standard photon 48 ( without the legs since I was told that this is something they were working on and I would be able to purchase at a later date. Instead i had to go and spend an extra $120 to get a bracket to work for my tank. Really disappointed in the the company. Discussion for another thread at a later date.)

Does anyone have a layout of the 48? Or know where I can find one?

Here is info re Photon 48 from Reef Breeders website:

"The exact dimming channel breakdown is as follows: channel 1; 44 450nm royal blue, 4 480nm blue. Channel 2; 24 4500K neutral whites, 8 480nm blues, 4 660nm reds, and 12 410-420nm violets. Channel 3; 6 480nm blue moonlights, for a total of 102 3 watt LEDs. We put 120s on the reds and moonlights."
