Best LED Actinic Supplement for 30" Tall Tank??

[forddna]

Hi guys. I'm running 3 250w MHs in individual reflectors. I used to run all Radiums. I picked up a couple of 14k Hamiltons and immediately saw great growth but I don't like the color.

I am thinking of running all 14k Hamiltons and adding an LED strip. But I don't want to waste money on one that won't do much for my tank because it's so high.

I was thinking Reef Brite. It's my understanding that this is a better choice than the Exoctic (sp) Stunner strips. But is it the best for a 30" tank? The strip would also be another 8-12" above the water.

Nobody?

My tank is only 16" deep but my single Ecoxotic Panorama strip (not stunner) lights up my entire 36"x18" tank. Only 1W bulbs so not a PAR monster but it lights up a tank significantly more than their stunner strips I am very impressed with the spread. If this is for the 220g, I would get the Panoramas over the Reefbrites for spread. The new Panoramas have come down a little and are now linkable and I think a few more watts. My LFS had 2 Panoramas on their 90 and they had good color on the sandbed with just them on but they really could have used 4 to light front to back and the 2 didn't make a huge difference when the T5s were on.

I do think there are better buys out there if you are looking to cover an entire 220g. You would need several Panoramas versus buying 2 or 3 decent size (even low watt) strips.

I was also considering, rather than running one strip across the length of the tank, running 3-4 18" strips, if available, front to back. But I was afraid it would have a spotlight effect rather than even coverage.

I could possibly do two 48" strips length-wise, but that's getting into some $$.
