![]() Your should be able to run one unit easy, some softies can grow amazing at 20-60 par which you can get achieve higher with this light unit.Īll good Snid, no worries I follow you. :Edit just re-read your post, i see you want to grow softies and mushrooms for sure these is all you need and more. For you 20g h, you might be ok depending on what corals you are keeping etc. Everyone thinks you need to have so much par for corals/sps's but that not 100 percent true. Not sure how much pur is being given off but both tanks / corals like these lights. both fixtures are set at 60 percent on all 4 channels. My green slimmer is about 6-7" inches from the light about 5-6 under the water line and its seeing 160 par. Running BB my systems are very ULNS so to much light is a bad thing. I've par tested these lights and IMO are more then enough for most all corals include most sps's mind you it depends on your setup also height of coral placement. I really like the separate channel timer also moonlight / sunset changeability. These lights are very nice and come very complete easy to use and setup up the times etc. Also running the smallest unit (18-24") on a 6g top removed fluval edge mostly lps and some sps's running at 55 percent both channels. Honestly these lights are pretty impressive and the blue channel seem to make most of my corals happy. Originally as running a radion pro at first then 350 kessiles didn't like both setups for a small tank, these have 120 degree lens which spread light everywhere. Running 2 24-36" units on a 20g long bb setup with mostly sps's. I don't plan on changing mine out, if I decide to get other corals that need brighter, more penetrating light, I'll supplement it in somehow. I just recently was given some zoas, and they are quite happy with the lights at all levels of the tank (they keep getting knocked down because I haven't glued them yet, but they keep opening up). Coraline Algae is growing very well, and I have at least 4 colors of it growing (dark purple, light purple, red and green). Algae grows just fine under them, as I have been fighting New Tank GHA outbreaks. The fish and other livestock have a gorgeous shimmer to them. Mine work great! I love the way they ramp up and down. You'd have to do research on what corals you want to have and work backwards from there to determine if the lights will be enough for you. As others are warning, they are only bright enough for certain corals. I currently (no pun intended) have the Current Orbit LEDs on my system.
