Hey guys, I want to set up a little frag tank out of a 10G tank. Would a 50/50 stunner strip be enough light to use for the frag tank? I think they are only 6W but it is an 8k spectrum, more white than blue LED's.
Not going to do SPS in there or anything either..
Thanks in advance!

I don't believe so, take a look at the panorama modules from Ecoxotic. I have a couple of them over my 14 gallon and they have performed wonderfully.

I had an 8k and an actinic stunner over a frag tank and it did just fine. The tank was 10 gallon.

No.
I have two Panorama 50/50's over a 16G bowfront and its marginal for anything more than mushrooms or zoanthids. I do keep a few LPS like candys but I would not suggest any SPS unlless they are right below the surface.

My brother just put three of these 50/50 stunner strips on a 10 gallon to get the light he wanted. Whether or not that answers anything...I don't know :p

Stunners are half the wattage of a Panorama and do not come with the reflectors which are extra and more money. Do the math.
