Ebay fixture observations and questions.

Purchased this unit from ebay. I think it's the same spectrum as the old reefbreeders before they removed some reds and greens.

2013 Full Spectrum Dimmable 120W LED Aquarium Light Coral Reef Marine Fixture | eBay

Funny thing is, is that I I turned on both channels to their lowest setting over my 14g biocube. Within about an hour every polyp on my zoa's opened up. Since I have got them, I have never once seen every polyp open at the same time. That was with a week under a kessil 150 15k, and then another week under the stock biocube lights. They actually really seem to not like the white biocube lights more than anything else.

As for the spectrum, I would like to get a little blue on the white channel, so I was thinking of adding a couple 420's in place of two reds, and some 450's in place of the greens. Any suggestions in that regards?

Also, would two of these cover a 60x18x24, or will I need a third?

Sure you could, if your good with desoldering and soldering, then I'd be in on it.
You may need a third, but its all in what kind of direct coverage you want the tank to have.

Your gonna mess up the spectrum of your lights. If you only wanted blue and white you should of bought a Tao-Tronics Led fixture 50/50 for around the same price you bought this a little more money but well worth it. If i were you i would leave the red and green in there, It gives the tank a different color spectrum i dont think youll only like the blue and white colors willl look different with just blue and white. Only reason i say this is cause i have a 50/50 blu/whtie fixture its good but im Upgrading to the evergrow iT2040 full spec led light fixture fully programmable and everything Best bang for your buck at 269$ shipped by reefradiance.com/evergrow-it2040.html You should check it out.

Good luck on what ever you do and i hope it works out.

Not looking for just blue/white, but a little more. I don't see 4 reds being needed, so I'll replace two(which would be the same as the reefradience and then maybe a couple whites, I'm just not sure what whites. I think I'll leave the two greens though.
