What about Par 30 lights. Got any good recommendations?
Yes yes it is
I find it might be too bright for low light corals
But it's keeping a maxima and a bunch of sps quite happy in my tank

O wow. I did not expect it too be too bright for corals. After doing some research many say the .25 watt leds are way too weak for reef tanks.

May I ask what is your tank set up? What's the Depth, size, and which length LED you are using?


thanks a lot

Sps are almost on the gravel

Thanks alot Dudley. You have been super helpful.

I think this fixture would work great in my case. I am using a 12ish gallon long and it's only 10 inches deep and 28" long. With the 24-36" fixture I think it would be more then enough.


What do you think?

The par 30 and par 38 lights from rapid led are good
