A razor 300w is it well ?

[Fredm]

Hi guys,

I'm going to change my tank (end of the next week). It'll be 470L (130x65x60). I bought a razor r420 300w (second hand), but i begin to doubt if it's enough or a good choice. Do you think i'll must run at 100% on all the two channels to have enough light ? (my tanknis composed with 90% of sps...).

Thanks
Fred

It should be just fine.
Look at the par specks from the manufacturer. They are pretty spot on.

I use the 160watt 16k version and I max out at ch1 70% and ch2 100% 8 hours a day and grow sps just fine.

Ok Adam. What's the size of your tank please ? I'm asked myself questions about the razor because in France this light has many detractors... Mine will be a 15000k.

29 US gallons, 30 inches long x 12 inches deep x 18 inches high. I've got sps at the top, middle and bottom.

My tank build is in my signature.
