led supplement ???

andrewbram · 05/04/2012, 09:56 PM

Hi all I have a question about some leds. I am either going with brigelux or cree to sup my 3 x 250 halides on my 125g tank 6 ft long. What I am wondering is will 24 be enough to make a difference while the halides are on. I am going all blues and dont want to buy more then I need but want to be able to see a difference when they are on with the halides. Also would you run optics or no optics. TIA.

10K Ushio's here with 445nm EcoXotic Panorama Pro and a 445nm Stunner. It offsets the color of the 10k's nicely without being too blue, it is just for a little actintic pop. What bulbs are your halides?

As of now I have no idea just got this fixture for free. I want led just to make corals flouresence. Just don't know how much it takes to make them pop with the halides on

What fixture is it? Knowing what bulbs you currently have will help a lot in figuring out what you need, a 20k bulb won't need as much supplementation as a 10k bulb.

Aquamedic. The bulbs are not marked but it definately has blue color.
