Awesome tank!! I've been running a 48" V2+ for the last six months and loving it so far. Care to share your lighting schedule and intensity for the Photon's? According to my par meter, they put out some serious power.I’m running 48” photon v2, along with 4 bulb t5 retrofit. It’s a great budget led, and can totally get the job done... but comparing directly to radions is a stretch. Also, color and growth is dependent on so many other factors besides lighting.
They definitely have plenty of power. I run them at 50% blues 8% white/red/green, with the t5s that gets me around 350-400 par along the top of the scape. I run the t5s 8 hours, 12 hour total photoperiod
Thanks, I may need to switch my schedule so that I'm running maximum intensity for at least 4-6 hours. At the moment, I'm following one of the recommended settings (looks like an arc), so corals only get an hour of max intensity, but growth has been fairly slow despite the high par. May be that the corals just needs the higher par for a longer duration.
Hi, I'm pretty sure that they fit in the aquatic life fixtures. Reefbreeders sells a kit to mount the photon in the fixture as well I think.
Just purchased the photon 48 V2+ and am looking at different lighting schedules and spectrums to run it at. Was wondering if you did not mind if you could share yours. I really like the look of your tank. Thanks in advance
What do your settings look like? I have essentially the same tank and have mine mounted 12" above. Running 55% on blues, 15% white, and red and green at 0. I should probably be ok with a mix tank at those settings.
BEAUTIFUL CORALS!!I think they do pretty well. Cell phone pictures.
