Correct. They have started selling the Luxeon M royal blue to resellers. I spoke with Future about it for a few days to get information as well as...
You never said what tank you have. Quick note though, Cree and Luxeon are great for royal blue with Cree better for white. Colors are a mix between...
Your LFS sounds like they know what they're talking about. They are 100% correct and even the "reef capable" one is junk. What did they suggest you...
You should do a teardown of the light to see what it consists of. What they are really selling is a 20W floodlight and I see no reason to suspect...
Nope, just 3W emitters ran at lower power for more efficiency. Realistically, that light has an output of an Ecotech Radion. Not to say that isn't...
If you could fit them and a heatsink in the hood, 6 XT-E 3 up emitters from LEDGroupBuy would be able to keep everything. The drivers will be about...
Glad to hear the lights are working for you. Even though you could've spent more for better lights, I'm glad to see them pay for themselves in less...
Since you have a limit of under 300 dollars, I'd suggest you use 1300mA drivers XT-E royal blue LEDs and 1500mA drivers for XT-E white. Using 20 of...
If you looked at my chart I posted above, you'd see that the price to performance ratio of the LEDs sold at Aquastyle is lower than that of the Cree...
I'll refer you to my table I made comparing the LEDs at Aquastyle vs Cree and Luxeon LEDs sold by RapidLED, LEDGroupBuy, and StevesLEDs. Table
Something like this on Amazon will work. It won't be perfect, but it should give you a basic idea of the range. Advanced Aquarist has a good image...
Most 3W red diodes are actually 1.5W. I haven't found any actual 3W red diodes. They're not 3W at least, at the reliable places such as LEDGroupBuy,...
While that light may be able to keep some coral, I wouldn't personally go for it due to the color ratio and low quality of the product. If you can...
Well, I'd like to bring up what was an argument a few years ago with LEDs. You must have 3W LEDs to be able to keep coral. Then fixtures running 3W...
Honestly, those lights are terrible but will work for low light corals. If your tank is 24 inches deep, I don't think you could keep mushrooms on the...
His links are from his post on Reefcentral here. 1 2 3 The difference between the different kelvin ratings, as in 10000k compared to 14000k is how...
I'll further along the clicking process to the aquarium lights then. For some reason, Lighting is not the same as Aqua. Here They are apparently...
I was curious if anyone had used these lights. They seem like a very good deal for the pricing they had and yet, I found no forum posts about them....
What impeller do I need..... It's quite annoying to wait so long for a simple response. I've just about decided to get a new skimmer. It seems...
Will they work correctly?
