it may not be. i would just watch your corals carefully for bleaching. in a taller cube tank like yours it will probably be fine at 100%. i was warned when i bought my powerbrites that they have bleached lps for some folks, so i only turn them on when i'm looking at the tank.

No kidding? I had no idea these things were that powerful. I really wanted them for an actinic supplement for an hour before and afer the halide was on and for pics of course.

I'll definitely keep an eye on things. Thanks for bringing that up.

Do you think the finnex are as bright as the pb's? With the finnex you get 9 1w led's right? Are they same color? 460-470nm? thanks

I believe Finnex are just as bright as PBs with wider coverage area. Yes. Finnex has 9 1w LEDs and with dual stage switch: 50% and 100%. as far as color, Finnex are the same as PB and are 460nm.

Where did you find the Finnex LED's?

i believe he ordered through aquacave. premium also has them. and i'm sure any of the sponsors here are able to get them for you, too.

My Finnex LED will be here tomorrow.

twinspots_goby, Can I hang this from the ceiling or am I going to have to rig something up. I don't have a canopy, I only have a large finished LB on the tank.
