Has anybody tried these grow lights? 13 watt light @ 7000K.

I don't know... they seem to go through great lengths to not mention corals. maybe for a reason. and it doesn't mention anywhere the par values and only 6-7000K. hmm I wouldn't use them for coral. maybe a fowlr

I've never used them and don't know anyone who has.
IMHO I suppose that they might be okay to light a fish only tank. But I'm skeptical.

I was thinking of a fug. If I get ambitious, I'll do an experiment.

only high powered leds which are controlled by drivers are suitible for marine tanks, and its still early days as to their use with coral growth, however even though the unit you have linked is useless for your tank it may well be ok for your fudge, looks a bit bulky though, sure you can fit it it?

My refugium is currently an unlighted 180g which is 2x6 feet and a 100g water trough. Maybe I can squeak it in. :-)
