Lighting question...

[wongyeng]

I currently have a Maxspect G2 170W for my 80gal 3.5 (L) x 1.5 (W) x 2ft reef + fish tank.

I hv read (and from feedback) that it is not sufficient for good coral growth/coloration due to insufficient intensify and light spectrum covered is not adequate.

I wonder what would be the better option....

1. Add 2-4 ATI blue light into the equation ?
2. Change the G2 to Razor 160 W ?
3. Change the G2 to 2 x Razor 120W ?
4. Change the G2 to 2 x Mazzara P series 120W ?
5. Change the G2 and use 6 x ATI light set ?
6. Upgrade (if any) the LED in the G2 to Cree LED ?

Any suggestions ?

I think that you can change your LEDs in that fixture, I would just upgrade to a full spectrum build. If that is not possible and you are not getting good growth with your current unit the best bang for your buck would be a RB photon 32.
