Re: Led Fixture
What are you planning on keeping in the tank. In my opinion you need at least two of either fixture. There is a better option, but I'm on my phone so if nobody beats me to it I'll post it at the house tonight.

Re: Led Fixture
I'd run two of these. Look for all of the ones between $165 to $180. Make sure you double check the blue to white ratio and the white LED color temp.
What color temp are you going for? Let us know the look you're going for and the fixture you're looking at and I'll try to make sure they line up. You WILL absolutely need two of them though... for pretty much any coral type. You'll even be able to grow some SPS up high if you wanted.
Here's the search.

Look for almost all of them that look like this:

Re: Led Fixture
Hey Brent,
I pass you this link, along with a packet of Ibruprofen, for the brain strain that will ensue.
I found this article, and although it warps the average mind if you are new to the tech side of lighting and LED's, it explains it such that I knew what I had to look for as and when I go LED, and more importantly, what not to buy without finding certain spec's that some oversea's sellers seem not to supply.

Re: Led Fixture
hey guys check it out i covered the center two pods on each fixture and this is the out come i think it will work alot better and none of the fish will need sunshades anymore. i will say the colors pop alot more also with less white light. covering is just temp till i can unhook the ballast that controls the center pods. i know each fixture has three ballast so i think i can just unplug the center one?
