optimum lighting for my Macro algaes

basile · Feb 1, 2017

One of my maxspec is going it a 10 000K for my display refugium. its going to fail soon. I have another one that's still working perfectly.

Now my problem is to replace that one with the best light possible. Masxpect doesn't make those anymore. Its all 15K.

Do you have a light suggestion for me a brand or type that's between 6 000k and 10 000K thanks.

If you cant repair it, you might be best replacing it. Ebay seems to be be where the closeouts are.

Thanks.

no sweat. A friend of mine here had a Max go bad. It turned out to be the power supply. He opened it up and the damage was pretty evident.

That's exactly what is going on here slowly though, i can see the plastic melting spot.
