LED light for a nano

[Ross]

Hey guys

Ive been out of the loop for a long time and don't know much about current LED lighting. I have a maxspect LED light now. Its about 2 years old and is about 60 watts I think. It is not the Cre bulbs. It grows sps/clams OK, but I'm looking for more growth. What unit would you guys recommend? I saw the AI Nano that looks pretty sweet but I'm not sure if its much brighter than what I have now. Thanks for any info!

what size nano im gonna run a ai 12 sol blue on my 28 jbj

[Ross]

its a 15x15x15in cube. Comes out to around 12 gallons I think.

[randomfish]

not sure on the max but the ai nano puts out a ton of light for that size tank

[randomfish]

look up ai nano on you tube

Looks about what I expected. Not sure how much brighter it is than my maxspect though.

Which of these 2 looks better? I just want the brightest light for getting as much growth as possible while still having good color.

AI Nano = 35 watts 4.5" x 5"

Mazarra = 120 watts 9" x 9"

Did I read the specs wrong?

Looking on RC they are talking about 60 watt units? If they are the same price I would go with the Mazzara because I do not think the AI Nano would be enough for a 15" x 15" tank

Hey Ross do not know if you have seen this

I did not realize there was such a big difference between the P and S series Also looking the voltage and amperage you are looking at 80w for P and 75 for S series. The biggest difference will be with S you only get white blue and purple colors, with P you get a few more plus they are using better quality LEDs.
