Looking for recommendations about good LED micro algae light. Don't want a spiral style bulb. I want a full fixture like a marineland led or something wasn't sure how that would work?

yea those all have the right spectrum, freshwater planted, or the crazy pink leds work too. some folks have good stuff to say about the regular mars aqua too.Looking for recommendations about good LED micro algae light.

Are you about to post a link? Just don't wanna get the wrong one... lolyea those all have the right spectrum, freshwater planted, or the crazy pink leds work too. some folks have good stuff to say about the regular mars aqua too.
Hmmm that sounds to powerful lol.I have a mars hydro, and its incredible! In fact, I've now got algae growing in my skimmer chamber as well...have to figure that one out. I don't think it hurts anything, its just an eyesore.

same here.Mine is the exact opposite of the display.
Sorry I meant are you Able to post a link... haha I'll post one to see if it's a good kind.same here.
I didn post a link. any light will do really, the$$$$ is up to you.
Depends on the area your looking to illuminate.. Any horticultural unit from on Amazon will work(stay away from the 40.00 crap units). But mars, and viparspectra are my favorites..
I then moved to viparspectra 300 which puts out even more light and grows even faster and runs cooler:
VIPARSPECTRA Reflector-Series 300W LED Grow Light Full Spectrum for Indoor Plants Veg and Flower https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B4GQ6MO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_o7bByb2RGEVV8
Mnnnn the Mars that I purchased, came with no optics. It was before they were adding them in.. So I'm sure that had a significant impact.. But on top of that, and I cannot remember the diode breakdown for the via(either the small 300 or the 600 that I have now), but visually they even look very different in the color..@Damon
Do you think the VIPARSPECTRA 300 has better growth than the Hydro Mars 300 because the VIPARSPECTRA has 90° optics and the Hydro Mars has 90/120° mixed optics?

My buddy has the Mars now, and I still see it frequently in action.. And it is a good unit.. Not going to lie.. It very well could be the optics, it could be the diode selection, and it could be a mix.. But I know the Via(as good as the Mars is) simply stomps it with anything I put under either unit.. And the little one(300) is a beast!
No problem.. I like them.. If you can, get one with the color channel switches on it..Thanks...looks like the Via for me
