If the PAR readings are accurate getting 250 at 24" then yes they should be more than enough for SPS.

I hope they are because i've ordered a 60" fixture to try on my full SPS tank.

cool. thanks. I am planning on building a 6x2x2 tank so it should be good for me too.

Most will be able to run the lights at 75-80% to grow SPS. I personaly grow SPS with T5's and I can tell you the the F-series will blow them out of the water....no pum intended.

One client in the US replaced his 2 x 250 MH fixture with a 72" SB and he's running it at 75%.

The 72" has 30 5W LED's!

thanks,

Ray

How well would this fixture work on a 30" deep sps tank?

Thoughts?

Thanks

Very well, you would have no issues. Clients who received their lights in the US are running them at 50% to 75% on 24" SPS tanks with the lights mouted about 12" off the water.

thanks,
Ray

Thanks for the quick reply.

Any clue roughly what the regular retail price for the 72" fixture might be?

How might the availability be around June/July?

Thanks

Someone over on AquariumPros said that these were manufactured in Canada? Is this true? If so you would think there would be more information and photos "leaked" on them.
