No. They will not operate this way.
If you are talking about no name Chinese fixture then I would not trust them. I am yet to see pictures of real modern Cree setup coming from these...
Start with 80 and place your fixtures high for now. See how your corals respond. You don't want to hit them with high light right away. They will...
IMHO that's overkill for your tank. Are they dimmable? I would go back to 1 light.
Stevesleds. Ledgroupbuy.
Don't get 10K LEDs from auquastyle. They are junk. I'll send you 24 of mine for free. Get neutral white.
Its the whites that are horrible from aquastyle. I have the 10K ones too. I added red/green/blue to them, but mixing is tough and overall I am not...
I have the Aquastyle LEDs. I don't think 12 is going to be enough for such a large tank. These are not miracle mini suns you know. :-) That close to...
You don't need to re-wire the whole thing just move the driver wire a few LEDs into the string.
You have 21 LEDs in series on one driver? That may be too much for it. The site says max is 20 for the Maxwellen driver. What is the voltage that the...
Hmmm Freshwater. How bright do you want it to be? Replacing 2x400 MH is a lot of LEDs. Personally if I did not need royal blues I would try some...
Wow 24 in a 12G must be bright. I have 54 in a 57G and I think its bright. Careful not to burn your corals! I did not order drivers from them, so I...
LED emitters are electrically isolated from the aluminum stars they are mounted on. You have to be careful when you solder so that you don't create a...
Now lets see it over the tank! :-)
I have Aquastyle kit. Look for my posts on this board. I would definitely go with dimmable drivers. There is no such thing as non-dimmable LED...
I am aware of the PAR and PUR issues. Lumens have nothing to do with photosythesis. They have something to do with comparing sources of light. Well...
That many in a 20 Gallon is gonna be bright! Be careful not to burn your corals I have 54 (2 red 2 UV 28W 28 RB) from Aquastyle on a 57 gallon and...
If you looked at data sheets for the cool whites those LED's provide roughly the same amount of light. Luxeon 320 lumens at 1A, Cree XP-G R5 348 at...
I have the kit from aquastyle. My tank is 36x18 I went with the two largest heatsinks he sells. IMHO UV are useless. 2 of my 54 are UV. They barely...
Without lenses PAR drops significantly. If you cannot find anyone who has done this and measured PAR, then its hard to say how many you will need....
