LED Supplemental Light Strips
I've been thinking of adding some supplemental light to my 10k halides. I've seen three different options that caught my eye.
1. Current PowerBrite Strips: Now these only have 4 LED's. Do they have more PAR per LED? 2. Exotic Panorama Module Strips: These seem to be more expensive; do they have higher PAR or more LED's for the added cost? 3. Exotic Stunner LED strips: These are my personal favorites, they are connectable and come in four color options. Are these any good? Ok. So what I really want to know now is the differences between them in terms of PAR. I understand the differences in color, but not intensity. Does anyone know the PAR readings for these three LED strips? These would also be used over a 24'' deep tank and I was wondering if they would be able to penetrate to the bottom or not? Thanks everyone! |

Reefbrite is better. ReefBtire uses 3 w led drives at 1.25w-1.5W with very good reflector. Also different length's strips to choose. I am using 36" (18 bulbs), my tank is 24" deep, without any problem.

+1 Reefbrites are popular as MH supplement lighting in my local reef club. These things make colors POP and GLOW!

I saw just this weekend my LFS has recently installed 2 actinic blue Reefbrite strips over his display tank and when he turned off his main lighting, all the corals looked alien...like molten lava coming out of the rocks!! It was insane looking!!!
 I really want to incorporate a strip in my T5 set up after seeing that.
