This is not a fixture, but what I have in the hood of my 65 gallon DAS that has had the filtration box removed. You can see that there are 4 T5s, 2 on either side of a 36 inch heat sink that has a mix of Cree, and Luxeon 3 watt royal blues, 14 LEDs in all. These came from RapidLED, and are run with a LPC 35-700 Meanwell. On the front of the tank are 4 LED spotlights, each having 4 3 watt royal blue Epistars. I am running one purple plus, one blue plus, and 2 coral plus T5 tubes. I will say that I very much like what I am seeing when I look at the tank under this lighting! And the corals - all acros, millis, and stylos -have very good color, and health as well! I run the Epistars 13 hours/day, the T5s 9 hours/day, and the LED strip 6 hours/day.
