Maxspect razor 160w for 120g

Hey everyone!

Ive been thinking of switching up my fixture for my sps reef tank. The first fixture that really stood out was the maxspect razor 160w fixture.

Does anyone have experience with this fixture on a 48" tank? Or would I need to supplement it further to continue to keep sps?

How many are you thinking of using? The display tank at Oceanic has 3 units hanging above it (48" tank IIRC). I tried 1 on its own and the lighting was too focused, not enough coverage. You may be able to get away with 2 of them side by side.

Probably 2, just wasn't sure of the coverage.
