Cheap blue/actinic and white led strips

[Legonch]

Okay, I see all y'alls corals with cool led lights, and now I want some on my tank. I have a 48 inch t5 8 bulb fixture, and want to add some strips of blue/white leds. Where is a good place to look? Something that wont break the bank, as Im only going to keep this tank for a few months until I upgrade.

Thanks.

I would use the euro aquatics e5. I am really liking the look of them.

 

[Legonch]

im running all ati bulbs. Three blue plus, two purple plus, one actinic, one coral plus, and one 10k. Which bulb do I pull if I put a blue e5 to get the pop?

 

[Andrew_bram]

I use 2 blue pops for 10-12 hours dusk and Dawn effect

I run two e5 blue pop with a Hydra 52 and love the extra color. Will probably buy two more also.

 

[Legonch]

So should I take out my blue plus t5 bulbs and put in two blue pops?

 

[Andrew_bram]

I would run 2 blue pop 3 blue plus 2 coral plus and one purple plus. Or 2 blue pop 3 blue plus 1 coral plus one purple plus and either ge 6500k/10k

 

[Andrew_bram]

I have 6 bulbs and I am gonna try 2 blue pop 2 blue plus one coral plus and one purple but I like a bluer look.

I think elite reef has some.

Ask and you may find out, don't ask and you will never know.

I don't think elite sold ati.. I don't think I saw some when I was there a few day ago only giesman. I could be wrong though

 

[Roscoe]

Yeah just called elite they don't carry them
