One Reefbrite XHO or two Reefbrite tech leds?

Zacktosterone · 07/22/2014, 07:57 AM

i've decided that i want to go with a 60" ati sunpower fixture but i also want pop so i wanted to add some actinic leds. my tank has 30" depth so i'm going to probably need two, are they the same color? same leds? just one has more than the other? because if that's true I would get more spread with two reefbrites than one xho. what would be the best option?

i don't want to go with the tech and the color isn't as deep or intense as the xho

Are you going all blue? I would just start with one XHO and see how you like them. I have a regular 50/50 and it can change the color spectrum w/ two blue plus 54 watt bulbs to a whiter look.

if i spend money on one xho it wouldn't do the entire tank. i believe the xho has 48 leds. if i got two tech leds it would be 60 leds

293 X 2 or 469 for one, unforntualey they are expensive, my 48 reaches down to my 24'' tank no problem and it is 6'' off the water. The XHO's are brighter more leds Premium Aquatic has been selling them for quite a while now and have a thread on them.

so the only reason why the xhos are brighter is because of the amount of leds then. so I'm perfectly ok with buying two techs then

ok so i went with the 4 bulb. why? because people with pacific sun pandora s fixtures are doing fine on the same size of tank. plus the numbers that the 8 bulb give out are ridiculous. i want to be able to put lps in my tank still
