hi
Im looking in to leds light for my tank but.. What's the Watts for led for a reef tank. Or as long the really strong. Plz help.
I've been wondering about LED lights too, for a 90g (48" wide). Anybody ever tried these fixtures before? At least from the description, they seem like a better option than the larger fixtures, since you could get a few strips with different colors (all blue, mixed, etc) and put them on individual timers to simulate day/night. The online reviews are good, but curious what thoughts here are...
AquaticLife Expandable LED Fixture
Those are .5 watt LED's - you wont be able to do anything but accent lighting with those. You'd need some other fixture in addition to those to grow corals
I just received my 66 LED system a few days ago. The service sucked but the lights seem really bright and shimmery and you can't beat the price.
I'll be getting my first corals tomorrow so we'll see how they do under them in the long run...
Sorry to hear that Alex...hopefully you're happy with the plunge to LED's I know that I certainly was
Hey texreefer.
Iam also new to the led world. Just curious if you thought that 3 of the 7led par 38's over a 30 gal long frag tank would be enough for anything I wanted to do?

One thing that I try to do when placing new coral in the tank, is use layers of window screen to shade the tank where the new addition is. I put like 5-6 layers of screen over the tank, and about every 3-4 days I remove a piece screen . By doing this it allows the light to gradually get brighter and acclimates the coral to the intensity. If you have anymore questions or need more info, just hit me up. I will help with what I can, or help find the answer.
