Galaxyhydro 12W LED Saltwater Aquarium Lighting

[Rread16]

I got this new LED bulb in today, mainly just to give it a shot and see what happens. I don't currently have any lighting that would support coral growth, as I've just been working on keeping my water parameters stable and enjoying the few fish I have. But I figured for $20 and after reading all the good reviews on it, it was worth a shot. And in the long shot if it does work at all i figured it would be good to have as a back up once I do get proper lighting. It puts off pretty good light and has a nice shimmer to it, it doesn't provide a lot of coverage thought about a 12" circle.

So does anyone have a easy / hardy frag in the Brick area they'd be willing to let me use as test subject for this bulb?

I saw that light and looks like a good fit for small tanks.
I would have given you a Kenya tree frag when you were here yesterday if I knew.

I didn't get delivered until 8 last night wasn't expecting it to come until tonight either.

One watt LED's have poor penetration. This might work as a refugium light, but not even close for what I believe is your 60 gallon DT...if standard, four feet long, and deep. Maybe if you ran a FOWLR with 3 or 4 of these it would work, but not for coral.

The 300W Mars Aqua is a quality low priced fixture that would work for your tank.

Ebay has them for $170

thats what i was thinking of using it for, putting above my refugium.

And my display tank is 36 x 18 x 24 i believe

unless they have changed, @TSM Corals uses Mars LED's on their tanks....and everything look great under them

I see it now in your signiture....65 gallons....yep, 36 wide. That 300W Mars Aqua would still work. That 24 inch deep, you'll need at least 90 degree lens.....and the Mars Aqua comes with lenses.
