Par38 Questions
Hey guys, I recently sold the 150w HQI we had over our tiny little 6 gallon. It was just way too damn overkill. Anyway we are looking at par38s and are curious about these.. We are keeping zoas, rics, and acans only in the tank so we are wondering if we should buy one with the red bulbs in it for more pop? Or if we should opt for one of the other ones?
This one has UV in it.. http://www.ocreef.com/ocreef_dimmabl...tegory_id=5084 This ones just a normal rapidled http://www.rapidled.com/12-led-par38-bulb-mixed-color/ And this one has the red in it http://www.ecoxotic.com/aquarium-led...ri-color.html/ Any suggestions?

Erick the Par 38 would be excellent over the tank IMO. i would go with the normal one and go from there. i believe its the 12K one

Given that you've already experienced a light that was overkill...I would look at the dimmable version so that you control the amount of light on the tank. I think a PAR38 will work great on your tank.
