Here are a bunch of threads from Nano Reef. No personal experience but I am interested as well.

I read that the Maxspect LED's have only a 3yr useful life on the bulbs they use. The theory behind that is the LED technology is constantly improving so you can swap out the boards for newer technology therefor the cheaper prices.

in the process of getting 2x160 g2 for my 75 mixreef.

A few of us have ordered g2 110w as well and should be getting them in this week. They don't have all the features as the higher end fixtures, but they also don't cost the same. Plus the fact that the G2 models you can easily swap out the LED makes expanding later on easier. And like you said, for the price it's great.

I am thinking of getting the G2-110 myself. There's a group buy being arranged by a southern CA club (deadline March 22). I PM'ed the group buy organizer (see following thread) and they said it is open to anybody.

Link to group-buy prices, which they didn't list in the RC thread:

Note that these prices *include* shipping, whereas the fish-street shipping price is ~$150 when I checked.

I wonder how many people it would take to organize a group buy for ourselves. Maybe we could wait and see what members like emps have to say about their fixtures, then organize something for ourselves.

We did a separate mini group buy (3 fixtures) for them. It was for 2 g2110w and one 60w nano.

hmmmm.dont know much about LED .what fixture would be best for 50 breeder mixed reef.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Hmmmmm Interesting. Nice price, possibly upgrade easily, and they give a great LED to MH comparison like everyone else should.

 

[E.intheC]

I'm interested as well. The English on that site is terrible though lol

 

[bigyankfan]

I have been looking into this unit, as well. I would definitely be interested in the G2-110 if a GB is arranged.

 

[KuyaMark]

Why don't we do a group buy I want a g2 110 as well for my 30g nano

Ok from what I have been calculating with the wattage. Something doesn't add up

Royal Blue CREE XR-E has voltage of 3.3Vf – see link: http://www.ledsupply.com/creexre-rb.php

As per manufacturer information 3W Royal Blue driven current: 700mA – see link: http://www.lck-led.com/p704/MaxSpect...duct_info.html

Therefore 3.3 x .700 = 2.3W

if you do the math than 160W in reality is about 120W.

Could someone please help clarify this for me?

 

[JonnyJ]

I would be interested in a gbuy also,

Don't know much about LEDs but what fixture would be good for a solana?g2 110?

 

[duke62]

im interested in what chief is saying.if thats true who know whats what.i am sure they arent trying to rip anyone off but if you are buying a fixture for the wattage that they are saying and things fail cause the math is wrong whats the use of buying it.can someone look into it.
