What is best light for Red Sea Max 130?

Coleus · #1 01-06-2011, 04:43 AM

I am debating between these lights to replace my current Red Sea Max canopy 150W MH because my canopy fan is broken and i am just that lazy or just don't have the skill to fix it.

What would be your choice, i understand that Tek won't give me shimmer effect but i am ok with it. I am more concern of color and able to growth any corals and clams

Any inputs are appreciated

ok let switch the topic a bit, i am still hunting for the perfect light for my red sea max 130

I have the Viper K2 250w + 2x Hagen Glo T5, but put them on looks very ugly :-(.

Now i wonder is there a good combo light 250w MH + T5 for 24 inch tank, except for that expensive Giesemann? Also, it must have tank bracket. What is your suggestion?

I've heard of some guy (he has a website somewhere...) that sells LED kits for the RSM...

Sorry, maybe I was wrong on the RSM. I think this was the site: http://www.nanocustoms.com/ But I only see Bio Cubes...

Here's a DIY with off the shelf LED strips for RSM: http://www.van-gessel.com/aquarium/conversion/
