Hey guys, selling two 95W smatfarm lights. I really liked these but recently upgraded to a "better" light setup. These are on Amazon for $150 each right now. I don't have the original packaging. They are the updated SW/mount though. I had them on a rimmed tank and modified the mount to avoid the...
Recently, I have been getting into building custom lights and want to make a larger fixture for my grow out system.
The dimensions will be about 10" wide by 24" long.
Question is: In your opinion, which configuration is better for spectrum blending? Cluster or grid?
The lenses used will...
I have a few tanks, and all use Coralife Seascape LED lights or Current Marine Orbit, but due to the fact that the Currents have began electrocuting the water of my frag tank, I will be replacing these lights. I only have soft corals, but might get some easy LPS at some point.
What budget LED...
Hello,

Trying to find aluminium extrusion for a custom light fixture. Using 20mm star led boards have 13 3W leds spaced over 800mm±100mm. Anybody got any ideas or sources? Ideally in the UK to keep costs down. Cheers
Was wondering what everyone has had success growing with stock biocube leds?
Things you’ve tried and lights weren’t enough for?
Considering switching lights eventually but I have to leave my hood on and don’t care too much for the look of a light on top of the hood.
I'm going to show my age. GE, Sylvania, Phillips. These were the big players in reef lighting circa 1980s,in the US. I would go through a very thick book call Grainger, and it would have most of your lighting and fluorescent, very high output, high output, vapor bulbs, metal halide bulbs...

Just equipped the temporary frag/grow out tank with Gen4 Pro radions yesterday. Was previously running 6 bulb T5 on the 40 long tank. Immediately I was disappointed in the level of disco ball effect from the LEDs. Going to attempt some solutions since the reduced electricity bill is the...
