Maxspect RSX - Any Reviews / Experience

[Surgeon_za]

Hi All

I am battling to find info on the new Maxspect RSX, there seems to be reviews etc for the Recurve but not much on the RSX.

Are there any reviews on this light that anyone knows off that could share a link with me please?

Does anyone have any personal experience with the RSX that you could share with me?

Thanks!
Paul

Thanks very much!

Are you still happy with the unit? getting good color and growth on your sps?

What color setting did you stick with in the end?

I went with the SPS Dominated on the ICV6 slightly modified. I just lowered ch4 down to 50% hoping to curb back some pest algae. So far so good, steady growth even on my zoas and Duncan.
Here’s just a quick pic with my phone from last week.

Thanks again, I also ordered the ICV6 so was thinking of trying the SPS Dominant setting when it all arrives.

Also considered trying to mimic the Radions ab+ setting, not sure how well it will work with the 4 channels.

I think the very blue look will take some getting used to as I am used to quite a crisp white look from a MH T5 combo.
If it brings out the colors more though I am sure I will learn to love it.

Well on the ICV6 there is also an SPS 10k you might like if you like more white light. Even though only having 4 channels compared to Radions 7(?), I cant complain much.

That's great to hear, thanks!
