Whats yalls thoughts on these leds

[Heliarc19]

Hmmm.. if it were me I would stick with a branded light. People seem to really like their mars aqua and sb lights, I don't know about those specific ones

 

[John welch]

Whats sb? I put in sb leds and it didny bring anything up and would u go 165 watt or 300 watt?

 

[Heliarc19]

Sb reef lights , a little more $ but they are proven lights (black box-ish)

 

[Heliarc19]

Ehh maybe a lot more $$$ lol

 

[John welch]

If you do SB, I would get 4 16".

I can go with hydras for just a lil more then those.

 

[Heliarc19]

Yes I didn't realize they were quite that much

 

[John welch]

[Heliarc19]

Check aqua illumination out they have some decent stuff for good price. I run 2 ai primes on my 40 breeder. They can be linked up to all run same settings and be controlled from your smart phone.

I personally don't think you would be happy with just two of these on 6ft by themselves, maybe 3, or 2 with some t5 to fill in dark areas.

The one im looking at now is a 3 set.

3pcs WIFI Version Dimmable LED Aquarium Light For Coral Reef Marine Fish Tank

2 32's. It's the 300w version. Covers better if you have a brace as well.

2 32" would cover nicely. I have 3 16" units over my 6' 125. Coverage was decent without pulling the lenses, but pulling all the lenses made a huge difference. It's easily done. Not hard at all.

Pictures taken right after I mounted them. Without lenses pulled. I need to take a picture with them pulled!

Those look sweet. Looks like you could make some type of metal bracket for the end of the lights, to rest on the rim of tank.

 

[Flippers4pups]

Lenses pulled!

This will certainly close some doors on people who were trying to get into the hobby without spending a fortune on lights. The new go to post on everything black box related.
