Maxspect Aquarium LED G2 for end January
When the slick looking Maxspect Aquarium LED unit from China made itself known late last year, it really peeked the interest of numerous hobbyists. I for one think the units look really stylish, dare I say ‘Elos’ inspired? Because of it’s relative compact size, biggest unit being only 400mm (15.7inches) long, the Maxspect would make a great lighting option for us nanoreefers.

Enter the Maxspect G2
The new version, dubbed G2, is due for public release at the end of this month, early February – exact date is unknown at this point. The few details I have about improvements and updates include the addition of moonlight function, a “purple blue” LED and some currently unknown, special functions. I have also been informed that the G2 will have a 20% price increase on the current G1 models.
Pricing on the current Maxspect lamps start at around $150 (£90) and are currently available from fish-street.com.
The Maxspect LED G1 units come in the following flavours:
60w
LED spec: 12 x 3W White LED, 6 x 3W Blue LED (SemiLED Chips)
Unit size: 180 x 180 x 45mm (7×7x1.7inches)

I just purchased a G2 160 watt for my 40 gal. breeder reef. I am hoping it can replace my 2-96 watt power compacts. I’ll let you guys know who they work when I set them up later this week.
hi
i have just bought the tile led lights for my d&d aquarium it took a while for the coral to adapt even thought i only added the new light to full light an hour per day my anemone has moved to a darker part of the tank but you can see a big differance in the corals they seem to open a lot moreand in all they look healthier so my view is if you can afford the leds its well worth the money.
