I just switched to one of these. Only had it on there a month or so. Seems to be doing well. I have never had algae so thick and green. Even with a 150 MH over the sump.

I'm using a Grow Light LED Panel. It's 12" x 12" x 1" and only uses 14W. It's suppose to be equivalent to a 250W halide for growing as it only provides the blue and red spectrum that plants use.
I didn't think it would work well but I tried it and it work really well, my macro is growing better than ever before. And it only costs $50! Combine that with it's low heat generation, low power consumption and 15 year life and it's hard to beat. Haha that guy just beat me to it! |

Not really. More like Mega HO actinics. Things glow and grow.
