These are good only for FOWLR and soft corals. Each LED is barely 0.5W, and it will be pretty redundant for tanks deeper than 1.5ft.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

LED technology still has a long way to go... and by the way, if you plan you use those tubes in a lighting set bought from the fish shop, you will have to remove the ballast from the light set and wire the LED tube directly to the mains. i believe the tube has its own internal drivers/ballast/whatever.

The LED mentioned in the 1st post are for illumination and low heat purposes only.

Its way different from the maxpect kind some of the reefers here are using due to technology and cost differences. (Low end bulbs)

Those tubes can hardly even make aquatic plants grow.

Brown SPS > Kinder Surprise

White SPS = Kinder Surprise after expiry date

Assumption killed the dinosaurs, they didnt have test kits.
