Hey, doing a t5 retro fit and looking for some opinions. Running a 6 bulb 36" aquatic life fixture with ati bulbs and thinking about adding a reefbrite led in the center. fixture has room in the center where moonlights currently are. Currently have an AI prime hanging in the center angled back into the tank but its just not cutting it.(kinda just hanging in front of t5's) Any suggestions on which reefbrite led to go with? Looking for a nice sps shimmer. Thanks!
 
I use Reefbrite XHO blue with MH and love the colour. Make sure there is adequate venting because the units are passively cooled. If your fixture has fans, you should be ok
 
Thanks! It does have a few fans. Any cheaper options? the xho is about 315 and I was shooting for 200?
 
You can check out the Reef Brite TECH LED Blue Strip Light. It has fewer LED's per strip but runs around 200. I don't know anything about it, but check around. Somebody must be using it.
