Why remove the lens?

 

[Sully32]

They just pop on and off the diodes. It removes shadowing and increases the spread.

interesting I run 3 on my 220G haven't heard of removing lens though

 

[Sully32]

A decent amount of people have done it which is where I got the idea.

Sorry I know this is a marketplace post but I have this light and been running it for 2 months now. I have seen posts about either removing or replacing the lenses with wide lenses. Did you see a difference in growth and was it hard to remove?

 

[Pete Luna]

half to try it

 

[Sully32]

I removed them because this tank was full of SPS for over a year and I needed more coverage on the edges. I had great growth. Removing the lenses is easy. Changing diodes requires removing the originals and soldering in new ones.

well thank you for the explanation, I might try removing the side lenses to increase the coverage and leave the middle ones alone. Thank you again and good luck

Price drop. $65. I will put the lenses back on before shipping as well.

Good Luck with sale, I run these on my SPS dominate tank, My Acro's grow amazing under them.

Tell us about the mods you did to the lights. Just bought 3 of these and was considering replacing a few diodes for more blue and purple
