help needed with light advice

[screename]

Ok, so i have the new AI (aqua illumination light) and its not strong enough so Im going to retrofit some stunner strips. What color combo (up to 4) should I use? I already have 2 blue one.

LEDs are not as bright as pc, t5, mh, or hqi.

The par value from that fixture is very strong.

If you want to use those 1w LEDs strips and if this was used for a fw tank I would go with all cool whites. Looks close to 8k me.

Ecoexotic makes real nice strips. All white, white/ blue, or just blue. I say white/ blue for more balance unless you plan to run only whites on the AI.

What tank is this going on? How much ai modules you got?

I dunno, but on my tank at 100% they are freaking bright. I dont really see the need to add more LEDs.

90p with one unit I think. Might need to hang the light higher for more spread. You're not growing corals so par isn't an issue.

No, I also have on an oceanic illuminata tank 57 gallons. Im afraid it isnt strong enough. I am starting with fish only but would like to gradually try corals. Thanks.

[myjohnson]

Foo, it's strong.

You just need two more.

Those lights you can keep the most light demanding corals.

[ssrprelude]

One more will do just fine.

2 are more than enough for a 58g tank. I got 2 in mine and can grow anything at 70% maximum.

Oh man I put 6 stunner strips plus the AI light on there lol. Now All I need is an mp40 and a reefkeeper and an autodoser lol.
