I have used 6 Mazarra P over my 250 Gallon Reef for 2 years now. Very happy with these.
I use the controller to get the sunrise/sunset

I am considering 2 or 4 new modules on my 150 Gallon Discus tank, and connecting these to the same controller for identical timing on both tanks.

Can you tell me what alternate LED chips I can install for use over a planted tank?

and I am thinking I might be able to swap the standard MCPCB from the new Mazarra P modules into the existing Reef modules- guesssing this woudl be on the 1000 mA Channel B/D - and put more RED into the Discus modules...

Would you advise use of the 1000 mA LEDs on the 700 mA C Channel - more for color than maximum PAR levels on the Discus/Plant tank?

Do you have any suggestions for an application like this?

Thanks!

Roy,

I recommend using 660nm Hyper Red & 3000K LEDs on the B, C & D channels, only the 5W Cree XML 8000K LEDs can be added to channel A.
