LED LIGHTS

[jesse88]

Have anyone tried the redsea160s lights?
Or is there any lights out there better for growing coral

In my opinion many different lights grow coral. It’s all about finding something in your budget that works for you. I use a combination of 2-radion xr30 gen 4 pros as well as one orphek or3 blue plus strip and one orphek daylight strip. I love the look of my tank.

That looks really good

How did you hide the lights?

It’s a floating canopy coming off the wall. The pvc sheets you see are just Velcroed on in case i need to remove a panel

What thickness PVC sheets did you use? I'm looking to copy your design. Not sure if I should go with thicker/heavier so it's rigid, or risk it being to bendy but light/thin

I forget the exact mil size but I went to a sign shop and they ordered and cut it for me. For the canopy cover I got a thinner sizer and I used the same material to cover my stand but that stuff is thick… almost quarter inch. I went with the thin stuff for the canopy so I don’t have to worry about weight cause the Velcro is the only thing holding it up. I’m very happy with my set up

Great - I'll try the 1/8"

Thanks
