    They just recommend 3 for a 72" long tank. However I am looking for par measurements or anyone that has used these I've been looking over threads but they all just seem to show they love them.

    would this work?

    *Output needs to be re worded to penetration because either way a 3w chip is a 3w chip.

    would this work?

    If and when I get the money. Plus there's too many variables in one tank alone. All km doing is trying to sort fact from fiction and see what wives tales really work. As long as it doesn't put my love stock in harms way. The only issue I keep coming across for less is all the different lenses...

    would this work?

    Finally got around tk my results, I did find one thing or two: if your going to use light only to feed your corals your missing a part of their diet, meaty things. Also I foun under 20000k lighting the corals from deeper parts grew a bit faster than the shallow water corals. Remember how our sun...

    LED help and lighting insight

    Any idea on full led systems that won't break the bank? DIY or made in china etc? Hoping not to spend 1300 bucks on t5 an pendents when for a bit more I could get an led system. I was also looking at some made in china 50 watt led floodlights with the 20000k color temp, maybe a few of those? Any...

    Some kind of feather duster worm thing

    Thanks gemmy. Any idea what that is? Some kind of flatworm? Found him in my live rock At the bottoms of the bucket. Is it good or bad? I already found one in my display tank and there's no way I'll be able to get it out. Maybe a coral banded shrimp or arrow head crab?
