I have been deciding between the vivid 2 mini or the wrgb 2 pro, for my aquascaper 600.
The tank dimensions are 60cm (length) x 50cm (depth) x 36cm (height)
I have used the calculators for lighting, and these are the results:
This is the results for the vivid 2 mini, which has a par of 137 at the front of the tank and then 182 at the back of the tank.
Then the results of the WRGB 2 Pro:
So overall the vivid 2 mini has a higher par by 2 at the front of the tank, and a higher par of 3 at the back of the tank.
The costs of the light are the same, and the vivid 2 mini has more depth, but doesn't have the same length. Do you think I should go for the vivid mini 2? even though the results are marginal.
What I'm worried about is that the WRGB 2 Pro is rated for 60-80cm tanks, but the vivid mini 2 is rated for 40-60cm tanks, so I'm a little confused.
Thanks for all the help, it is extremely helpful. By the way I am growing medium and advanced plants in this tank with a full co2 injection system, with a reduced fish load and tropica specialised nutrition so this tank is high energy. I'm currently running a twinstar 600e v3, but I want more control with the colour spectrum, and everything in my scape is controlled by my phone so it would make everything alot easier.
