Actinic Blue XHO LED Strip Light

Xtreme High Output at an affordable price! Actinic Blue XHO lights were designed to bring out the fluorescence and pop in your corals, inverts, and fish. If you are looking to build your own custom fixture, or just need a single supplement light, Reef Brite's XHO series are ideal for all types...

Why not a 24" ReefBrite strip. Maybe 2, an actinic and 50/50. Or just two actinics. 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.

Adding Actinic Blue ReefBars to Fluval Evo 13.5

I was thinking about experimenting with adding a couple Actinic Blue ReefBars to the stock Evo 13.5 lights. I wanted both lights connected to a Current USA Dual Ramp Timer, but the timer utilizes a shared 12-24v input. The Evo lights utilize a 1500mA 13.5VDC power supply and it's not large...

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.

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,...

NICREW Single Channel LED Light...

And, of course, those LED strips. I just glued them to the inside of the lid.
