I am considering to supplement my 250w halide with 2 leds strips .. not sure which ones to go with as tech is the older version and hence cheaper than vs xho newer version. Also any of these do they comes with the mounting brackets as they will get mount under the canopy not on the pendant . Lastly is it possible to run these two strips on a single power supply or all they all Meant to be run by themselves.

Tech is not the old fixture it just has less leds then the Xho. I have a tech fixture on a 40b and works Great. I put it on the 65g tank 24"deep and it's not so good would need the xho.

The vho has continuous leds and the tech has 4 in a row and then basically skips 4 slots. The type of leds are the same in both. Just depends on how much light you are trying to get from it. I use both. Love them.

For supplemental LED lighting on a tank thats 24" or shallower, opt for the Tech. Plenty of light. if your tanks deeper then 24", i'd opt for the XHO version
