I use these over my macro tank and over my display fuge. They will grow mangroves with no issues. It also will grow SPS, nems and sustains upside down jellies just fine. I mention SPS and nems, as I ran out of space and had to throw some frags and BTA splits into my macro tank and they are growing just fine under the lights lol. In short, they are full spectrum and can support tons of things. For 30 bucks or so, not a bad deal.

Excuse the pup. That is her sump, or so she thinks.

Thank you!! Your huge looks great. I may get a different setup just for looks, also when I get these medal ones they seem to corrode very quickly in my experience. Appreciate you adding the link!

The covers for the lights are a anodized aluminum for greenhouse, so very durable. The oldest light is the on over the sump and is over a year old.

Looking at them they actually do seem different than the ones I had tried in the past. I will give it a go! Ty
