Looking for blue LED supplements to go with MH.
I've changed my mind on the hole LED thing. I'm going back to running 400w Radiums. But what I do like about the LED's is the blue actinic. Can anyone suggest a blue LED light strip that will look good after the MH go off? My tank is 84'' long though.

Reefbrite XHO strips do a lot of dawn/dusk lighting on my tank and I love them. They're a it pricey, but worth the pop.

Skip reefbrites and go for the Build My LED Super Actinic XB. You get almost double the amount of LEDs.
And they are built down here in Austin TX.  I went with the 72" strip mounted to my Hamilton Cebu Sun.

Build My LED Super Actinic XB are good looking but $500 each is to much for me.

I have ReefBrites but they all can be pricey. I have heard a couple people using 21LED actinic strips and they like them. Plus they are way cheaper. I may get one for the frag tank.
