Looking for Actinic strips for EVO 13.5

[LardLad]

I know I've seen it somewhere and I've looked at several threads to try and find it but someone upgraded a Fluval Evo 13.5 with some actinic blue strips and now I can't find that thread anywhere. any thoughts

I have the actinic (60") for my first and last 2 hours, following a rampdown from MH and T5, and it is stunning. BRS suggests a reef tank can run on these alone.

I posted this before buying all the stuff for it. Check my build thread; I did end up adding the reef bars with the power supply and everything. It worked out great, but was always planning on upgrading to the AI Prime and eventually did that. I do still have it all and will sell it to you for pretty cheap if you're interested.

How much do you want for it?

What did you end up with if I may ask?
I had IP67 Tru Lumen strips under the stock hood but they did not last long.

I used two of these guys, and a NICREW dimmable controller with a splitter. I can control all three lights (stock, and two strips) with the one controller with this setup. Color is much nicer, but I like things a little more on the windexy side, so I might pick up one, or two, more.

Amazon product ASIN B00OP3P0XA

So the stock 13.5 light plugged right into the NICREW?
Any possibility of posting a link to the other components? (NICREW, splitter, power supply)
Thanks a bunch!

Sure. I used the stock Fluval power supply with the following:

ZOSI 1 To 4 Power Splitter Cable,... Amazon product ASIN B082HV8MC1
NICREW Single Channel LED Light... Amazon product ASIN B07WT8VK28
And, of course, those LED strips. I just glued them to the inside of the lid.
