Mars aqua led fixtures

[Big Larr]

Has anyone had any experience with the Mars Aqua brand led light fixtures I currently have the 300 watt full spectrum model on order and was wandering how well do they work

R u regarding to a COB (chip on board)fixture? If so, Imo it's looks very nice build and I found a company who build that from china, look very identical . I contact em for some PAR readings test but they could not provided...
I don't have one, but would lik to know about that first from people who actually owns it...
Tagging along.

Thank you very much the light should be here in a few days will keep posted on how it is

 

[Vpham]

So I have received my 300w 32" mars aqua led fixture in today and since my 57 gallon is not set up yet I'm going to be testing it out on my 20h.

So far works great corals opened up and responded beautifully right away the fans are nice and quiet and I like the color spectrum except i wish it had more of the purple color though

 

[Big Larr]

I'm having to run the white and color channel all the way down to the minimum and the blues only at about 15 percent or so and still a little worried about bleaching the corals but I know it's due to the light is too powerful for the 20 gallon tank

I currently run two of their 165w lights on my 265 and when I pu them on I had to dial them WAY down to keep my corals from receding. It took about a month of small adjustments to get these turned up to where I like them. Just have to take your time. And yes I know that I need more for a tank that size. They'll be coming when the money is available.

 

[Big Larr]

Awesome man glad to hear someone else out there has these instead of just assuming they are no good because of their lower prices

 

[Big Larr]

Also I am loving this light so far it's great and the corals seem to like it

 

[toddhgr]

Here's a shot or two of mine. Using know if you can see the polyp extension on the green slimer, but it loves this light!

Nice if you had two of the larger ones it would be perfect for your tank

 

[Big Larr]

It's overkill now on this small tank but will be perfect when my 57 gallon rimless is set up

 

[toddhgr]

Looks great! My plan is to get one of the larger ones and place it in the center eventually. Then I'm hoping to work out a way to wire them to my RKE.

 

[Big Larr]

Ok sweet that would be great in between the two smaller ones

 

[Big Larr]

Hopefully one day my tank will look like yours

 

[Big Larr]

Are you running carbon in your tank with the sail fin tang

 

[toddhgr]

Unfortunately the sailfin died with no explanation. And nope, I don't run carbon at all.
