There's alot of people that use the Chinese fixture thats what it looks like. I got a fixture from China last year and still have it over my 60 gal. I have 2 green bubble tip and zoas, Gorgonian's and shrooms with growth no sps or lps..:sly:

I wanna buy LEDs. Which LEDs will grow corals faster then my t5 and are lower priced

fishmaster818 · Mar 13, 2014

I need too know if they will grow Lps and Sps corals

Yes they will grow SPS and LPS. However it does depend on the size of the tank your putting this over. It is only 16" long and 8.5" wide.

Take a look at Aqua Illumination.

I would look into some AI hydras there on the expensive side but well worth the money

main thing is make sure they are ~3w LEDs, so something with 20 leds would use @max 60watts, not a light where its 25w total over 100led lights
you want something that can run a moon light cycle
more colors=wider spectrum of light, better for growth and visual appearance while viewing
dimmable ones are nice to dial in your liking as to not bleach
some have internal controllers
some have wire/wireless/hub controllers and programs which give you total control of light (timers, intensities, ramp programs weather etc..)
the further down the list you go the more exp it gets
ive heard good things about reefbreeders but once you get up in the 3-4-900 range there is a lot of fine options-i run an ai hydra 52

As long as it's dimmable it will grow corals just fine in your tank. I cant say that they will grow faster than with your T-5 fixture though.

I find my LEDs grow my LPS faster but I don't know about sps

I run this unit. It works great, and has great color. It is dimmable, The Blues Dim, then the whites and reds dim together, has no timer, but you can use a timer bought from Home Depot for that.
