Beamworks LEDs?
 
Ok so im pretty sure im going fowler and still going to try and grow some weeds in there :)
I have a 48" marineland led the same in reefteck and i love them.... I would like to do away with my T5s all together and found this knock off of the marineland and was wondering if anyone has had seen or tried them yet?

Has the same specs all the way as my marineland..... so other than how its mad and half the price..... it "should" be a good buy?

How many watts are each marineland led?
The beamworks are 1 watt leds, not much par in bottom of tank

I would think they would be very comparable, they look identical could even be the same guts. Too bad it didn't have a better ratio of blue to white, that's the biggest negative I find with the Marineland.

Well.... If they stack up to the marineland... 3 or 4 of them will light my tank up very well...
I just worry they use hydroponic spectrums and alge will blossom everywhere....

Still havent bit the bullit..... waiting on grizzes LED build.... but i gotta say.... I have growth on everything all the way down the the sand bed 30" deep....
