Strip light for pop?

[JMM744]

have a 60 inch ATI sunpower 8 bulb over my 180 72” fish only tank. Looking for a 60” strip to attach to the sunpower that will really pull the color out on my fish. Appreciate any suggestions. Currently have a 36” reef bright ( outmoded) laying on top of tank lids. Want to get something hung soon.
Thank you,
Jim

I use a sbreef actinic sbar and really like the color...especially when it's on by itself in the morning and evening.

Thanks for the suggestion. You get good color pop and shimmer with it?

Orphek

I run an orphek OR120 UV bar and does great for color pop. Don't know that they make a 60 though

They do not. Thanks though.

Yes the color it brings out is excellent. I run 5 T5s along with it so the shimmer is minimal but still noticeable even with all T5s running. I plan on getting a 2nd one one day in lieu of a T5 to get more pop/shimmer. Wish I had some pics handy to help.

I have the same ATI over my 240.
I previously had Radions and after a few months realized I missed the color the leds brought out.
I went with the Reef Brite XHO 60".
It helped alot so I bought a second one a few months later.

Thanks. Will check these suggestions out for sure.

Orphek OR2 bars are nice. I have the 24" blue plus and just ordered two more. They definitely make your corals pop. It's a mix of blue and uv diodes. I'm running them with two Kessil ap700's (which pop themselves), but the Orphek's have a little more pop.
