So I am relatively new into this hobby. Learning more everyday! I have a 90 gallon mixed reef that has been running for about 8 months now. I had picked up a used tank and light system which is a metal halide canopy with two 250 watt blue colored bulbs. The bulbs have an unknown amount of time on them above the 8 months I have used them. I was looking at picking up a LED system to replace the halides. My wife came home last night with a new lighting system she found which is made by Fluval. A quick search on the internet really has not turned up much info other than speculation. Just looking for any info on if this light will be suitable for my tank of if it should go back and keep saving for a higher end light... The specs are as follows

Fluval Sea Marine & Reef M48 LED
# of LEDS - 692
Wattage - 46
Lumens - 2340
25000 K

Any thoughts? Thanks
 
Thanks for the bump. I think I am going to take em back and get a higher end light. The night lights are great however they just don't seem to have the same kinda punch and intensity as my halides. I don't think I'll get the growth outta them that I would like to get....
