Mars Aqua Chinese LED review (Ebay)

zachrabbit15 said:
So most of the diffused light build i've found use the frosted diffusor panels. Has anyone used something more clear colored but with a ripple or pebble finish?

Im thinking about getting a few pieces of this to try, https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=22862&catid=704

I can't find the exact post, but I know people tried that sort of thing, plus a few others that weren't just frosted/matte and they drastically preferred the frosted for color blending. The pebble finish made the disco effect worse.
 
Hello all, I am setting up a new 120g reef 48x24x24 with sps and lps.

I am about to buy 3 of these 165w marsaqua lights and just wanted to ask 2 quick questions to those who have these lights:
1- Do you think 3 will be sufficient for my tank?
2- Do these lights provide the nice "Shimmer" effect I can get with Metal Halides or Pendant LEDS?
Thanks in advance!

Perfect! Do you recommend buying GH or Mars or is the SB Reef basic worth the extra coin?

Personally I used a Popular Grow WiFi and liked it a lot. My buddy had a SB and he liked that as well. Basically the same unit one with UV one without, both grew SPS like weeds.

Raise them higher and it will cover a 24/24 area

I have 3 120W lights on a 72" tanks, 1 per 24/24 area. There is some shading but I like it.

mars aqua have a hot sport directly underneath and are very strong lights.
 
Anyone have any pictures of their tanks running these leds, with T5 supplements? I have 2 aquamars on my 90g, and overall I'm happy, but want to get a little more growth/pop out of my corals.

Change out a few leds and you can have any color you want. No need for T5

I have VHO 454's if need be and I love the led only color on mine.
 
Anyone have experience with this 20" CBB?
