MarsAqua Dimmable 165W/30OW

[USMC4Life]

You can sell or trade here on R2R or there is Ebay(charges 10%), craigslist or keep it as a back up light.

I can't keep it as backup :/ it eats too much juice and puts out too much heat as the tank sits in the corner.
I will put it up in the forum. Do you think $350 is a fair price ? It's $740 new last time I looked.

@USMC4Life I would love to see you try these out for the community. I think this light would be awesome for your needs. The UV leds are what we need in this hobby, but we don't have anyone wanting to try them out.

I will look in to it. I just need to figure out if it will work for the tank size. And if I only need one.

He's stated he is looking at the 300w. I have the 165w mars aqua on my 20 gallon tall. It has the 90 degree lenses and it still isn't enough spread. I have dark areas on each left and right side. 60 deg lens would create more disco effect, as well.

Yeah it will do that, I think if you need full coverage then either wider fixture or wider lenses.....

@USMC4Life I sent you the link to the 24".. i'm stupid... here is the link to the 36 inch. All you'll need is the 36" fixture. Just to note, this light can be daisy chained.

Unless he wants more penetration through water column.....or short angle lense.....

Thank you. I'll look at the price. The cost is another driving issue. I have another kid on the way so ya lol.

Just looked. I wish. The cost is over what I can spend right now unless I sell my Aqualight Pro Metal Halide Aquarium Light.

Man this thing cost $700 .....wow you can get two used hydra 26 in much less money.

I got it as a gift. 2 years ago.

The mars aqua 300 w is $170 shipped. No wifi, no programming, no daisy chain, no 120 deg lens.

This DSunY is $195 shipped with everything and more.

Even if you went with two 165w mars aquas which is what you would need. You will still spend roughly $200 +/-

This is a link for auction at ebay for 300 watt fixture, maybe you can try this.

Thank you all.

I have 3 Mars aqua suspended above my 3 40 gallon breeder top tanks in my store I am currently opening. I have nothing in the tanks but I was very amazed by the light output for the price. They are about 16 inches above the tank and hit all corners and are very bright, they are the basic model that you can adjust the color outputs, no wifi. Also I will be interested in buying your light and paying for shipping if the price is right, please let me know.

They look good.

Did you check out SBreef lights. I don't have them but that's what I will get when I upgrade to a 90 gallon. They look nice with a 2 year warranty.

Also the picture doesn't really do justice, it looks like a ray of light on the top tanks, but it's just the angle, it is a smooth solid light color through out the tanks. And the top tanks are completely empty, so light shines through to the middle tanks
