hitster Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hey Fellas, I have been reefing since past 10+ years but mostly 100G + aquariums. Due to space constraints i had to migrate recently to a nano setup. Its a 18x24x18 inch tank out of which the back sump takes away the 6 inches space making the display area 18 Cube Setup details - Extra Glass tank custom made with back sump with 3 compartments. First one holding my Fluval PS1 skimmer and a ceramic bag, second compartment holds the filter with ceramic and sponge (turn it on for couple hours after i do the NTM mode on Vortech), Chaeto with 4 x 3W 660nm LEDs and the final compartment has the 560 lph return pump. The display area has a Vortech MP 10and return hose for the circulation. For lights i have a Maxspect Razor 60W. Around 10 kgs Live Rocks and a bad of live sand. Livestocks 7 Turbo snails 1 Yash Goby 1 Yellow Clown Goby 3 Purple Firefish Corals Purple Gorgonian Cestipularia (Blue Xenia) Red Gonio Strawberry Carnation Clove Polyps Green star polyps mushrooms Frag of Green Nepthea Purple tip acropora Montipora Zoas Thinking to add a rare delicate fish which swims all over constantly...Any suggestions? I had Orchid Dotty OR Helfrichi in mind.. Any other suggestions on Corals? Link to comment
JavaJacketOC Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hi, I have an 18" cube that I'd like to set up again and I'm leaning toward this light. Have you taken any PAR readings? I am mainly concerned about being able to keep coral with higher light requirements, although it looks like you've got a wide array of items. Have you experienced any issues with this light for this size tank? Link to comment
hitster Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 I think its a tad too bright for my 18 Cube. The PAR readouts are available online if you need it. Till now i have not experienced any issues. All doing well Link to comment

All doing well What are you running the light at? I thought this fixture was dimmable. Also, which color option did you go with, 16k? Link to comment
hitster Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 I mean too bright when I put it at 100% on both channels Of course it's dimmable. I have set it up on a dawn to dusk mode. Link to comment
