125 gal, 6 foot long tank LED recommendation.

cdrake261 · Sep 2, 2014

I bought a 36" coralife(sp?) That includes one 10,000k bulb and one actinic bulb...I'm going to try it for a week or so, and probably return it for a finnex led fixture.

Not sure I'm really digging the purple look on my tank, but a salt tank at Petco looks great with two 10,000k's and two actinic bulbs...why is that?

I have a 72" 240 g that I am just setting up. I love the aqua illuminations pro lighting but I don't have $1k for lighting. I have been looking seriously at getting 3 x 24" to 36" Orbit programmable led lamps. I would actually mount them front to back. At $400 for all, it would save me about $600 in total.

Saw this fixture on my friend's 55gal this weekend and can't believe how bright and dirt cheap they were.

He got them here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/48-58-LED-L...e-Blue-Extendable-/251614533802#ht_1969wt_756

Wonder what PAR is and if they have a 36" version...

Just fyi a single current satellite + at 48 inches is barely enough. Keeps the ends kinda dark. Id do two if you go that route. I have mine hanging above and I think my plants arent doing the best.

They have them in 36" flavor? And if so, is one bright enough per half of the tank?
