Please help me on Maxspect R420R selection

Dear Experts, please help me to select the best Maxspect R420R setup as I am very confused.

I am going to set up a 3x2x2 medium to heavy planted tank and love the look of Maxspect R420R LED system.

They have selection of 8000K, 10,000K and 16,000K with 120W or 160W out puts.

Which combination would be the best for my setup? Please help.

Does anyone know any store doing special on those? Those light take away very large portion of my budget :P

Thanks in advance

8000k for fresh water 10000k max anything higher will lack the red end of the sprectrum and wont bring out the best colour in your fish or plants.

120w will be overkill, I'd sugest you turn it down. I hit over 300 PAR with 4 degree optics and only 30w of power over a 10 inch square area from over 4 feet in height using lower grade chips then the maxspect.
