Lights?

[Uncle99]

Just based off the specs I can see I would say a lot.

I would look more along the lines of 2 of something like this:

Wow that’s 1200 watts intensity.
Now that’s a ton of light for 125.

ok. after a year or half a year then?

Also would 3 be ok for these lights?

At that price point, why not just do 3 Viparspectra or Nicrew. Both seem to have very good reputations here.

I would say that if your SPS are growing well and have good PE, you should be ok with clams.

I use one to light up about 3' x 2' section of a 14" deep frag tank and works great. Unless you want a very white look you will have the whites turned way down and blues.

Also a 600w black box at full power is going to draw usually between 150 and 250 normally as they dont run the chips anywhere near max power.

That would be a for certain, no.
You can add SPS once you see coralline algae.
That will be many months into the future.
