Leds for actinic supplimentation?

Nice Azurel. I had to go with a strip of powerbrites. It comes in tomorrow. Reefbrites are not in my budget as of now :( I might add another strip in a couple of weeks, depending how it looks with my set up. I'm glad you're happy with yours and lets see those pics!

I turned off the MH about 5 min ago.....All I can say is if I was doing acid I would be on a good trip.....

I have a 36" reefbrite bar over my frag tank, it's currently mounted a bit too high though. There is good coverage and it still does not get overpowered by the halide (175w EVC 14k) but it could be more intense if I lower it some. Because brighter is better, right... :) I am adding 2 48" bars over my 240 so lighting will end up being 3x 250w EVC 14k, 2x46.5" VHO super actinics and 2x36.5" VHO 454 and 2x 48" Blue ReefBrites

I have played with both the reefbright and powerbrights and there is no comparison. The reefbrights are way brighter.

You can get rid of VHOs if add two more Reefbrites imo. :xd:
