I do kessils ( I run them) or 2 reef breeders photons

I ran my Reef breeders LED 50% white, 70% blue, ATI T5 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the eve to supplement the blue spectrum and getting moderate growth.

What kind of acros do you have and how long under the Reef Breeders. I am growing out acros under my t5s for my 265g and I am afread that the change over will either brown them out or kill them. Tks, Holley

I run both halide and ebay leds (most leds were converted to bridgelux 3w bulbs) I use 3 250 watt xm 20k bulbs and 4 black box leds with blues running at 80% and whites at 30%. My par readings in a 29" deep tank with all lighting 10" off the water is 250-350 in the sand bed. I had great growth and great colors under this.l, Holly can vouch for that

I've got RB fixtures on 2 of my tanks. The only problem I ever ran into was when an acronym was sitting right beneath a red led with a 90 lense on it. I would leave the lenses of the red all together.

I thought all the Chinese eBay boxes and US name brand units like reef breeders and ocean revive are all manufactured by the same company in China and then just rebranded? So, wouldn't they all be equal in terms of led diode power levels etc?

Thanks

That was supposed to be acro. Not acronym.

id stay with radions and get the wide angle lenses.
