hey, i didnt know were els to post this but im trying to make my own led aquarium light and i found a blue led strip for the moon light but its only 100 lumens does any one know if that will work or a specific lumen range i should be shooting for in a night time application

We need the size of the tank, how many LEDs at what watt, and the brand of LED would help also.

also do you think corals would be able to survive under these lighting conditions?

I would not use them. Without basic information on the emitter I have no clue as to how they would perform.
