    I was at a LFS and they had a 28 jbj tank set up similar to mine and WOW those colors were poppin.So he talked to me for what seemed like an hour about these strips.He has the tank under regular lighting that comes with the jbjs and he stuck two of these under the hood.It was quite amazing.I just ordered two.Was just wondering if you guys have used them before and did you like them

    They are nice for accent lighting. Alone, I don't think they would sustain anything but zoa's/shrooms, maybe some softies.

    These will definatly do the job. The magenta will really make colors pop.

    Oh that will do fine. The magenta are like a red-purple-orange mixture.

    The fullest spectrum you could get with stunners would be one Royal Blue 6W, 1 Royal Blue/Magenta 6W, and one UV Violet 6W. You would need the 4-Way splitter with these as well.

    You could go all three in a way and get the Magenta/453nm (Royal Blue) combo, and a 403nm UV Strip. Depending on what your current main lighting is, this would give you some nice supplements. It won't be quite as blue as adding a single blue strip.
