Maxspect Razor

[rldcpa]

Trying to decide on whether these will work or not for me. Anyone using these on large tanks? How well will the coverage be with 3 of the 160w units running front to back on a 72x30x26 tank? Also, do these have good PAR down to 26"?

What is the spread on the 120w units and the 160w units?

Just got two 120w for my 125gal. Will be ordering third soon. They look great so far. Love the sunrise/ sunset effect .

Hi guys, I have a 48''Lx18"Wx24"H tank. I'm currently using 2x150W HQI + 4x54w actinic. that's totally 516w. Do you think a 160w 27" razor suitable for my tank?

I just set up my new 120 gallon, and need temp lighting while I build my DIY fixture. With the coupon codes out there now, I decided to order myself 2 Razors.

I'll be taking PAR measurements too. I've tested a lot of different chinese fixtures, so I'm looking forward to testing these.

What's the coupon code? As I know, Premium Aquatics offers 14% off coupon "EARLYBIRD" so you can get a 160w at around $430.

Yep, that's where I got mine.

been following this thread ...or parts of it for some time. I am in the market for light fixture for my 40B, which is my first build. it is nearing completion and this aspect has been the most confusing, as there are so many choices and opinions. i am back and forth between this fixture, especially at the cost of the previous two posts......or a used MH setup. I love the features and look of this light. Is there any reason i shouldn't consider it??? I love the shimmer of MH's....does this light provide that look? Thanks for everyone's help

great looking fixture!!

 

[bhazard451]

Out of stock at Premium Aquatics. Damn.

 

[tanzer16]

can you still get the discount and order it though?

Nope.

Turns out Maxspect pulled an Ecotech and told all the companies not to allow sale prices.

Disturbing trend. Guess I won't be trying their lights after all.

Doesn't work there either. They were the ones that told me that Maxspect told them to exclude it. Neptune as well.

If Maxspect/Coralvue is reading this, this just caused me to cancel/have canceled 2 Razors in which I would have posted multiple pictures, impressions and PAR readings over a 120 gallon tank. This is basically free publicity, and the more members post favorably about them, the better chance they buy them over competitors.

Looks like I need to get my DIY light finished asap now.

Would i get good coverage on a 30x30 x24 aquarium wih a 27 inch razor or would i have shadows? Would i only need one unit?

will i need one or two 27 inch fixture for 30 inch cube ?

 

[TheReefKeeper]

It's been a While how's the colors holding up any current pics from anyone? Mike De Leon almost two more weeks down LOL any news or Pics?

 

[rldcpa]

I have a receipt for the order from a couple of days ago for 3 of these at the discounted price. I don't think they can cancel consumated orders.

 

[mginn]

I have two on backorder since yesterday and they told me today they would still honor the discounted price. I guess there was really a lot of lights ordered.

 

[rldcpa]

I ordered 3 and they called and said they can only send 1 now and 2 will be here by Christmas.

led has its own kinda taste. I happened to notice this fixture makes the tank look dim unless you view from the top down and then the whole tank is lit. great color rendition and quality- especially what comes with the light different types of mounting options. the light does hue purplish, but it can be negated by turning the white down and the blue higher. I have been soaking up knowledge in regards to the 16k model, so I am not very familiar with the 10k. as soon as replacement boards are available I will be installing the 10k models to see which is better, in the mean time this unit is very sleek and I enjoy its presence.
