If you intend to still run the white channel on the LED panels above about 20%, then they could still be damaging/limiting some medium/deeper water corals (sorry, I have no idea what you keep). The blue channels will be OK, but that Radium will not need any blue supplementation. I might suggest that you consider just saving the electricity of running the LED panel since that Radium is MORE than capable on it's own for the corals, unless you are just wanting some dusk/dawn stuff for yourself. Plus, this way, you can take the pepsi challenge in your own home.
Metal Halides: Bulb choices and why?
- Thread starter sethsolomon
- Start date
The LEDs are going to be mostly for suplimentation of blues. I haven't figured it all out yet, and that's why I wanted 1 bulb now to get some things figured out over the 40b before the move to the 210. Originally I was going to run 4 LED panels and 2 250watt halides over a 6 foot 210, but I'm already rethinking this...(I have enough equipment to run 3 250s and 3 panels as of now.) Time will ultimately tell what I decide...
