Does the Quanta Atlas make sense for 24” depth displays?

Are you using the original Unos or the 2.0/2.1? I have both and that is a huge deal on the 1.0's but it is much better on the 2s.

One is 2.0 and one is 2.1

The only difference in the 2.0 and 2.1 is a different 90 degree reflector in the 2.1 and a larger power supply in the 2.1 also. Everything else is the same. The one I have now is a 2.0 and the 3 I just ordered will be the 2.1s

I see now what you are saying. I need to learn how to read apparently.

The Altas is a very powerful light, and needed some color supplement for me. I have a pretty over lit display, 60x24x24 that uses 2 Altas’ and 3 XR30s. To be honest, I only have the Atlas’ at around 25% on the 150w setting and the Radions somewhere around half way, and can literally bake the corals quickly if I were to turn them up more. We are sitting somewhere in the 700-800 par range at the top of the rockwork, 250ish on the sand. We did try to turn them up just to test it and could push just shy of 2000 par at the top of the rock. It’s overkill, but shading isn’t something we have to worry about with the 5 lights across the top.

I figured it might be something like that. Its ok I may still hit you up for a helix or 2 its a 180g standard marineland. I will probably need some fill lighting.
