Reefbrite help

Msmith2813 · Apr 5, 2015

So I am looking at adding one or two reefbrite strips to my existing tank for supplemental lighting. I currently run a 6x80w tek t5 with ati bulbs. My tank is 26" top to bottom and 60" across.
While looking for the older tech models I came across the newer lumi lite models. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of how well they actually work when compared to the older tech models? Would they be good enough on my tank with mostly sps? Im really looking for all blue to make the corals pop, but if they happen to help with growth then I definitely wouldn't complain. Thank you for the help

When searching I couldn't really find anything on the lumi lites so I'm interested to hear also. Just figured they were equivalent to the stunners or eco's which didn't hear made a difference for blue. I want the same thing but went with the tech due to hearing good things on them even with halides for blue. The xho looks even better but I was fine mid grade. Should get it next week for the lagoon.

Im in the same boat. I couldn't really find much about them or how well they perform. The XHO's are really nice, I just don't really need them. Ill pry end up going with the techs, they pretty much give me what im looking for

Bump. Does anyone have anything to add regarding the reefbrite lumi lites?

I got one of the techs. Still heard nothing on the lumi's. the tech is great. Shows thru both my 250w halides and pc's. And when on by itself - super blue.

Reefbrite are so overpriced-- and I have them on my 180 reef (3x XHO)

Its crazy that after all this time there's still nothing on the lumi lites, I guess others are hesitant to purchase them also.
For what I need and am looking for (supplemental light) the reefbrites are actually one of the better priced options. The build my LEDs are way more expensive for a simple strip.

I ran the tech on my 6', and 8x80 sunpower, it was phenomenal, and IMO, worth the price. My experience was very good, I will be getting another one for my new 36" dimmable.
