Hi all
i want to add some more light to my tank so i was thinking of replacing the blue t5 with a white one so i will have 3 in total. to get the blue light i was thinking of uesing blue leds (waterproof) and fixing then behind the light canopy so i was wondering what is a good buy for both light output and price?
cheers john h

hi ben
ive made my own fitting for leds up they have 10 blue and 6 uv, if i leave this on during my normal tank light hours would this be of benefit to my growth, have 2 t5 corallife and 2 t5 actinic at the moment, they are compacts
i have a load more blue and uv leds so is more the merrier or no
tilly

as you have the 2 x t5 actinic then i wouldnt bother keeping the leds on as they wont really benifit anything

i havent fitted them yet but i guess they would give me the shimmer effect, also have white here as well so could mix and match

[ben]

they wont hurt to use if you want and look good after the actinic t5's
