Anyone use a Wattshine 140watt LED
Has anyone used a Wattshine 140Watt LED? If so how well does it do with the corals you have? Bought one for my wife’s tank and just curious how well they work. YouTube will only do so much justice lol

Looks like smaller version of Mars Aqua unit, but with different LED spectrum. 4 out of 28 LEDs are red, which to me at least is a bit high. However they say they are using 5W LEDs which is interesting, as most other black boxes use 3W LEDs. Would be interesting to see how they work out in several months.

That’s just a single unit over my tank. It’s growing some LPS, softies and anemones

I never have heard of them until this post and then I looked them up. For smaller aquariums I think they would work? A PAR meter and time will tell. I did find this comment interesting on mounting height
Question: this aquarium lighting would be suitable for 36 inch tank? Answer: I would think yes, I am using it for a 3 foot long refugium. I have it 37 inches above the tank and it has plenty of light. K · December 11, 2017 |
