I'm looking to add some supplemental strip lights to my 310 gallon build. Currently I only have 2, 8 bulb, ati sunpower fixtures. The goal would be to start with 2 and then add 2 more eventually for 4 total strip lights. The goal for these lights are mainly to get coral colors to pop during the day and I plan to use them for early AM and late night actinic lights. Currently debating the reefbreeders Lumenbar v2, not sure which spectrum since they offer a few blue only options. Or the reefbrite options. Either the Xho or the standard. Pics are great if you're using any of these!
 
reef brites, or the aliexpress bars. hearing great things from the quanta bars as well
 
Orphek blue sky and blue plus bars for great color and pop.
I ran 1 each on my 120 to supplement the halides.
The bars improved overall color of the system.
 
I have an aliexpress bar and can't complain... other than I wish I had gotten the one that can dim. Mine is ON/OFF only, so I only have it set to turn on/off when all my lights have finished ramping up/down for the day. the LED bar is only on during peak lighting hours. it turns off before my other lights start ramping down again. Can't complain for the price.

if I had to do it over again, I would probably go with Quanta's now though.
 
I ended up getting a reef breeders add on bar, mainly because of how it could mount to my existing photon. Seems to be very comparable to the orpheks.
