Yeah, I really love the control-ability of the Currents, but my corals are only showing a small amount of growth, and more or less surviving rather than thriving. This is my first LED setup (been reefing a little over 36 years) and I still have my T5/Mh setup from my previous reef......tempted to put it on this tank if I can't afford LEDs that work. I certainly regret paying over $500 for the Current setup. Right now I want to upgrade, but (post divorce lol) am a little strapped for cash for the next few months.
That looks very nice! Do you think one unit would give me good coverage on a 40B? Even though the tank is 36", I measured the actual width of the reef, and I only really need the most lighting on about 28".I use 2 Visparspectra 165w, three years now
Ok, I just found the 300W one. That looks like the perfect one for my needs. Thank you.It’s a bit small if you want SPS, softies for sure, LPS, sure.
Visparspectra makes a 30” -300w version as well as the 16” -165w version. The 30” sounds like a better fit, but I believe it’s around $200. lighting is critical.
Correct intensity (and color) is just as important as water chemistry, you can always have a bit to much intensity and turn it down somewhat, but you can’t turn it beyond 100%

Can you point me to which Viparspectra you purchased? How do you have it hung? Are you happy with it?
