MarineLand Reef Capable LEDs???

oodle · 02/11/2011, 10:31 PM

Hi,

I have a MarineLand Reef Capable led light system.
I want to keep a Leather Anemone, Polyps, Candy Cane, Toadstool Mushroom Leather, and Brain coral. Will my lights be enough to sustain these creatures?
Or will I only be able to keep only a few of these??

The light has 36 10,000K White LEDs & 6 460 nm Blue 1W LEDs - 2610 Lumens.

I have one over my tank. The light looks good, but I think with 1 watt LEDs it all comes down to tank depth.
That said, I've got blastos, zoanthids, mushrooms and a leather all doing well (if not growing especially fast) about 31 inches under the fixture.
I suspect they would do better closer to the light, though.

Well the tank is 36 inches long by 19 inches high (thats excluding the 5 inch sand bed).

I'd totally try it then, no question.

I have the 24-36 Marineland Reef Capable LED lights on a 30 gallon with zoas, toadstool mushroom, and will soon be getting a devil's hand. They are all doing great because it is not very deep. I do not foresee any problems with your set up.
