New LED Dilema need help

[ivandrago]

Hi so as you may know i am building a new tank transfering everything from my old into the new ELOS 160 need help deciding what to purchase for lights. I currently have the max spect razors they are great but i like to be able to control from my laptop. So the radion are out of the question because i would need 3 of them. so i am stuck between the Ai 52 or the Maxspect raxor 300w.

But the question is whill it be enough of just 2 AI 52 for the 63in long tank?

If the AI is the same dimensions and specs as the sols just different spectrum then it only covers around 24x24. You'll probably need atleast 3 at 63"L. Sorry I can't help much.

Per the link, it only cover 24x24 as well. So I don't think it'll work out well covering the 160.

The AI and the Radions put out a similar spectrum spread. The Radions give you te option of running the wide angle lenses. Depending on how deep your tank is and what you're keeping, they may still be an option. My 2?

Radion's are also $400 more. I read many reviews and they say that Orphek Atlantik is alot better for the coral and light distribution.
