LED lights

[bling_bling466]

Ive got a similar unit and it's great. It's growing my sps and Ive had a clam for 4 or 5 months now. Mine has two cords tho and individual controls it cant be dimmed tho. I just acclimate my coral till there use to it. What type of corals are you planing to keep?

that light looks like its running 1 watt leds , find a unit with 3 watt leds if your looking to keep all kinds of corals ,and dimming if you want to keep it for more than a month ( frying your corals and the ablitity to change the color temp is invaluable)

The item description says 55x3 watt LEDs. eBay is like any other 'store', shop wisely & in most cases you'll be fine. My DIY LED fixture is made of mostly eBay LED components from Asia & it works great.

I planning to keep mainly softies. How do you aclimate your corals to different light? Is it the same process as introducing them into a tank?

The description says it has two switches to control each colour, do other fixtures have a dimmer option for lights?

[1bigstud]

Also do most units come with dimmer capabilities? Or is it that you are supposed to be able to turn off certain lights for certain periods??
