Maxspect LED owners!!!

[Boogie Man]

Would anyone know why the white lights would go real dim and flicker? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I have the G2 110w model and I just replaced 5 leds. The blues work just fine. Does anyone repair these?

I was looking at these for my 40 gallon breeder tank. Which model would you recommend? 36 X 18 x 16 is the dimensions of the tank. I wanna be able to grow every coral, anywhere in the tank. thanks!

the G2-170 will work well.

Boogie: does it still flickers ever after changing out the leds ?

I am putting together a 300 gallon tank build my tank is 96" long by 30" wide and 28" deep. Do you all feel I could cover the tank with 2 G2- 230 or would some other combo be better. Thanks mike

Hey everyone. Another 'which light' inquiry.

Mixed tank (soft, lps, sps), 50 gallon, 36x18x16. will the 160w be good/too much/too little? Placement will be right on tank, can't hang it. don't want to bleach anything. cycling tank now. has about 1.5-2" sand bed also.

thanks in advance!

Can you control the light intensity of the Maxspect's - i.e. can you bring it down to 70% if it's too bright?

Kinda wish there was someone who would get inside of the power box and figure out how to install dimming controllers.. I have no knowledge so wont be trying..

I did however swapped all my SemiLEDs with CREEs and optics.. love it but going to switch to AI SOL BLUE soon.. just waiting for my lights to get here.

When I have some time I am going to attempt putting on dimmer switches. Maybe in the next week or 2.

My G2-160W temperature is now reaching 50º when all the 3 groups are on. What are the normal temperatures?

I think mine is like 30C temp. When it is off it is 21C temp.

Also I don't have 160w. I have G2 170W.

I found a place for replacement everything for the Maxspect including cords and that was finsreef.com. The cord cost me $10 plus shipping

Mine both run at around the 45 to 50 degrees C mark.
That is with an ambient room temp of around 25-29 C.

i am pretty sure MH runs at a lot hotter than 50C if you want to do a comparison

it's mid march/11 any word on the G3s?

Finally got my two g2 160's for my 90 gallon today. I am very impressed and have no doubt I can grow anything at any depth in the tank. As long as the light holds up good in the long run, I give it a 9 out of 10. The only negative is I would love to be able to slowly bring the lights up to full output. I bought mine from fins reef and I had no issues with them. It's a better fixture than what I could have built for close to the same price.

anyone have or seen the new K3 by maxspect?! they look sweet. Not sure if it is a maxspect....looks like it is?
Any info....Hmmm maybe not by maxspect....

 

[amheck]

I think Fins Reef is expecting them 3Q

 

[scuzy]

Anyone know where we can get longer cord from the fixture to the pwersupply? The one supplied with it seems a bit short for my needs.
