Currently on my 6' display tank I'm running 4 hydra HD 26s. What would be a good addition to these lights? I'm think something to help with the more vivid blues for view coral. And trying to no get into anything that is a energy pig as our hydro rates are ridiculous. I was thing maybe a reef brite strip?

What do you all think?

Hard to go wrong with Reef Brite.

I also really liked my SBar from SB Reef Lights. Orphek makes led bars and you can customize the leds if that is interesting to you.

Reef Brite uses reflectors while SB Reef Lights and Orphek use lenses.

Would you go with 50/50. Or Blue. I only briefly looked at reef brite, but can they be adjusted or are they just a on off?

I never bought the Reef Brites, but I don't think they can be dimmed. I know the SBar has dimmable and non dimmable options.
