Default Your Opinion - Best Supplementary LED for Phosphorescence/Fluorescence

Looking for opinion or experience

I run an Aquaray Aquabeam 600 Fiji blue in my RSM130 to make colours pop.

It works really, really well.

It uses 5 3W CREE led's and improves the stock CF lighting drastically.

I would just buy another one of them, but JL no longer carries them.


I'm now setting an RSM250 up.

So my aquabeam 600 will no longer offer the spread I need on this wider tank.

What do you Canreefers recommend for ready made "stunner" strips?

My only caveat is that they need to be able to fit in the stock canopy and must be water resistant/proof.

Lol...

I haven't seen them around for a long time...

Though JL is pretty much my only frame of reference anymore.

I remember OA used to carry those.

Where is best to order/look?

Anyone try the euroquatics T5 blue pop replacements?

I might go pick a couple up tonight and give them a try...just because so simple and no modding required.

I have and I would recommend them, much more blue than my ati blue plus and it makes everything pop. However, I did return them due to the reason it won't automatically fire on my controller through my ati fixture, I had to manually turn it off and on, some times a couple of times before it would fire. Maybe its a profilux thing.

I'lll try them on my reef keeper and aquacontroller....

Will hopefully not be an issue.

Profilux is pretty hardcore.

Thanks for the input.

They were such a big deal (marketing wise) when they first came out, I sort of took the lack of discussion about them as a sign of some unhappy owners.
