Lighting distance for ReefBreeders fixture.

[mattyams]

Trying to figure out far to keep my led fixture from the water. Going to get some lps and I already have softies. Suggestions? I've tried two distances here are the pics.

Following along with this one. My Reef Breeders Photon 32 has been ordered. Are you satisfied with the fixture so far????

Here's a before and after shot. The colors are way more vibrant and pop so much better. Plus I went from 2x Marineland fixtures to a full spectrum fixture so you can see in the photo the difference. 1 watt vs 3 watt, so now I can expect actual coral growth. I believe the photos speak for themselves.

They are super backed up due to a group buy on nano-reef.com. I ordered mine on the 28th of February and got it yesterday. Use their contact form and the owner, Logan, will email usually the next day. He was super helpful...once he got around to answering me.

Have you looked on their FaceBook page at all? Apparently they're still recovering from the "Chinese New Year" and an over abundance of orders. I believe they have them back in stock and should be shipping soon.

Those look like the Member modified units. Are they different?

I'm not sure what the MM leds were constructed of but these fixtures are programmable and are backed with a 2 year warranty. I'm sure there are many similar units out there.

Check out their website.

The one I got isn't programmable. I bought the value fixture. But they do look exactly like the MM fixture.

These are my 16" reefbreeder's LEDs. I keep them about 6" - 8" off the water. I have the 120 optics and if they are too close I get spotlighting. If they are too far away the light comes out of the back of the canopy and is annoying while watching TV. I have had them for about 3 months. Love them. The programmable ones are amazing.

Yeah I think I have them too far away. They're about 9" away. I'm going to have to lower it then.
