I need to buy a new led strip for my algae reactor. Which spectrum is suggested ?
What I can see on Amazon are red-blue 5:1 or 8:1, so much more red than blue.

If I understood properly, blue is better than red, for algae. Any suggestion?

Usually more red and white than blues but it really isnt a huge issue. I like these leds, bright, comes with a built in heatsink, and waterproof
