Hello all.
Could anyone who has had experience with two or more of the Chihiros LEDs share their opinion about how different each of the different types actually is, when viewed in person? I have an ADA 45H and I'm struggling to make a decision about which one to go for. I'm debating whether to start off lower/medium tech (I'll dose ferts and liquid carbon, but probably won't use co2 at least to start with... but in future may well switch to this).
I know that obviously the RGB is supposed to bring out the colour of reds better, but then with it not being as powerful as the other two and the tank being 45cm deep, is it going to be too weak to cope if I decide to go high tech in the future? I also don't know if I'm being silly here, but I'm a little concerned too that it might lend an odd sort of 'artificial' and non-natural look to the tank. I think I've read somewhere of somebody having that opinion when using it... could be getting mixed up, though.
I just really want the best quality of light, colour rendition wise. I'm not too concerned about having the highest output of light, so long as it will grow most plants and look the most 'natural'. Unfortunately I've not been able to see any Chihiros in person.
Which one would you go for?
