I tried that but the spread was too much. The entire floor was lit unfortunately

Did you take all of them off? And do you have a canopy?

I believe viparspectra is the same light but has built in features, 1 cord?
Yes.
This thread has boomed since I last looked at it almost a year ago. I went with the viparspectra and have 3 on my 180.
I run a softie tank so I cannot comment about sps growth etc, but that said these are very good for the price paid. Had no problems with the tank which was previously on 250w MH's.

Thank you for the feed back.
I wouldn't mind doing so. May i ask why? I've seen all other lighting manufacturers incorporate those into fixtures. Anything specific?

Red and green are said to amplify the disco effect.
3500 is just to yellow, don't want it. Its to easy to swap out.
many youtube vids of people modding these lights

Well, really need the red for photosynthesis. Preferably, for chlorophyll A and C2. I know too much red can cause bleaching so i'm trying to keep it at 5% of total light. I guess for me, disco isn't a concern and slightly relative when using 120 deg lenses.
Green (500-530nm) mostly cancels whites but i'm using cyan(490nm) which has a slightly high rate of absorption for that. So, i'm comfortable with keeping that out.
I think I also agree on the warm white. Though, it will help with reducing an over all windex coloration.
Yeah, i've been toying with swaping chips for several years now. Not a big deal.

Hi everyone.
Just got my Aqua Mars 165w for my 120 liter tank. I hung it 25 cm above water and I got a nice spread.
For next days I'm keeping white and blue channel in the minimum, trying to aclimate everything.
How many hours do you guys run your lights? Percentage of channels?
Thanks!
