Hopefully in the near future I'm going to be building a 15 gallon cube. Anybody have any par data on a Noopsyche K7 Mini? Even on paper, is it capable of growing SPS? Or would I have to go with a K7 V3?

Think you would find happiness with the mini, how deep is the cube?

The tank portion is 11"x15"x15". I've already ordered and received the K7 Mini so here's to hoping!

Do you feel there is anything it can't grow? Have you put a par meter on it?

No honestly - is your tank rimmed? That’s the mishap I had as it won’t fit on rimmed tanks. It’s reading 90 towards the bottom and although I have two A80s also mounted with it their effect is negligible that deep. maybe 10 par that deep, and it read 90 with 10% white 80% blue and purple

Nope, it'll be rimless. I have seen that mounting these on rims is next to impossible. Luckily I'll avoid that issue! Those are pretty good numbers!

yeah honestly think they undersell the statistics of the light but I really think that if your aqua scape isn’t just in the bottom 3 inches of your tank you could grow just about anything it’s worth measuring the different combinations of light color and par so you can adjust on the fly with out having to remeasure

To anyone having problems with mounting on a rimmed tank: if its a regular black rimmed tank,just take a box cutter and cut the inner lip where a lid would sit away and it should fit.

Much harder to do if it’s an existing tank light upgrade and not a new set up haha! Great solution though
