The ppl that uses there leds over a reef tank what's your settings at?

 

[Big Larr]

A lot of people set at about 70% blues and 30 to 40% whites but acclimate up to that level slowly and should be fine

 

[chrisfeng]

yes , but general is use white and blue 1:1

Do these have timers or set for sunrise and sunset. We are thinking about this light as well over a 40b rimless setup I'm starting to get together. Thanks for any help....Steve

Bump. I just got some of the Mars Aqua. Trying to see everyone else's setting before I install mine.

 

[Big Larr]

I like mine it does really well although of course there's room for improvement it does what is says it does and for that price I love it cause I can change some leds out to get a better color and still be cheaper than the other lights

 

[tonyespinoza1]

Awesome thanks Big Larr, what's settings do you have them on?

 

[Big Larr]

Slowly ramped up to 100% blues and whites at minimum setting over the past few months

 

[tonyespinoza1]

Thanks

 

[Big Larr]

No problem bud

I just set up 140 / cube and trying the top seller ( eBay ) full spectrum . I am using 3 of the fixtures with 90 degrees optics they have been on the tank since it was first set up 6 mth ago. So far so good and no problem with shading.

I am looking at the programmable led lights on eBay. Anyone use those with success?
I would prefer to get an led light that can auto dim up and down throughout day rather than just be on or off. Anyone have any suggestions on which ones are best or any other programmable led they have found for a good price that works?

 

[Big Larr]

Check out the Facebook group called Chinese black box proof group first because they have a group buy with much better lights than the eBay ones as they have a much improved light spectrum and great prices

Thanks bro. SPS are loving it.

FYI, these lights are powerful. First time I switched from halides to LED, bleached a few colonies first. Always start from the lowest. It may not look so bright outside, its all directed straight down inside the tank.

I always run 100%blue and 15-40% whites after aclimating for a month or two.

Lol seems this site is way more liberal about discussing these lights.

Over at another forum people were livid when I said they work well. My buddy has Mars Aqua. And everything is growing well. I have cheap fluval lights and have done well
