LED Question again..

[KrisDeitz]

Hey guys i got the Panorama LED strips.. 2 of them soon.


I keep getting told Yes i can grow anything and then No they cant by different people..


Someone please tell me i did not waste money on lights that do the same thing my Pc bulbs do..

I have two of them going over my Bc 29

how deep is that tank ?

Biocube is 18 or 20 in deep from what I remember. Couldn't you fit the two strips in the hood with the two PC bulbs that are already in there? That should be plenty of light either way.

I wanna say the bio cube is like 24" deep let me check

Thats what im doing. Im running one Pc bulb right now.. Got some orderd..

Also i have one strip but i need a power supply and I got another strip on the way..


So with 2 of these strips and 2 Pc bulbs can i keep a clam happy? and maybe Noob Sps?

Edit: Online says the cube is 19"

With that much lighting, I think you'd be able to do a clam, and def some SPS.

I have Acans and Nems thriving off one Pc bulb and Chalice.. So i think these two lights will rock

Hey Kris I had 2 strips in my cube and they worked great. I had Pearl berry, sertosa, green bnest, monti's, and a few more. And they all did great!!!!

I had a couple questions about LEDs this is for a 29 gallon.

First does the color of the LEDs matter to corals for growth or is it just us to enjoy.

I have a T5 4x24w 2 white 2 actinic during the day, which I switch between a 24in 420 actinic strip. Should I get some LEDs for night or just leave the tank in the dark? I usually turn on the 420 strip in the morning for a couple hours and then the T5s.

I see LEDs for sale all over the place, is there a difference between those and ones specifically sold as aquarium lighting?

I had two of the these strips on a 14 gallon BioCube. I was able to grow several SPS's. I would recommend at least another strip for a 29 gallon.
