Thanks bayareareefer. I will definitely check with them.

Hello,

I wasn’t sure if your staying fish only or, if you decided to do a full reef. Depending on which your doing will vary drastically. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get something good to grow coral if you decide to later head down that path.

I have a pair finnex planted 24 plus's over my 4' vivarium and really like theirs dawn to dusk effect, I'm sure the marine version would be comparable and they are pretty affordable.

If they ever die I'm going with the new Orphek OR light bars as they make a freshwater version and I love my Atlantik v4. My only issue with the OR series is the same I have with their slimline series which is they are not dimmable

I used the 24/7 on my 75 when it was a planted tank. Great light.

Have a 48" model just sitting around

Absolutely, though I hate that they Include white diodes. That’s unnecessary for what a blue led strip is typically used for. My school of thought: If you’re going to use blue LEDs for displaying wild colors for a decent portion of the day, then go heavy heavy handed on low kelvin white t5 tubes and true actinics in your mix. While it’ll be maybe less pleasing visually during peak photoperiod, it will actually develop a lot of those pigments that look amazing under LEDs. Similar to how shallow water mariculture acros look ridiculous under artificial lights initially and that fades fast.

If you’re gonna use Blue LEDs for a dawn and dusk. Don’t be afraid to throw a couple 6500k and a couple true actinics in your t5 mix

The “blue sky” strip only has blue and cyan leds...or am I wrong?
That is the color strip I would be using along with my MH

Check put the new Orphek OR strip series. Reefbrites are expensive and underpowered

How do you mount that?
Just lay on top of the tank or suspend it from the ceiling?
Looks like a good light for the price.

Mounted my UV to my current USA mounts.
