led blue strip

[harleymike]

Got a blue strip of led lights in the mail today. Put them in my tank. Wow do those blue led's ever make the coral;s pop. The blue t5's do nothing. These are sweet. Gives a whole new perspective too the tank.

these ones. got them for looking in the tank at night.

I need a tripod. i only got one thats not blurry. It does it no justice at all.
Looks awesome in person. Both tanks are cool. Anemone is pretty neat looking too.

Your anemone looks like it is growing nicely. Good work mike keep it up

What kind of lighting system are you running now Mike?? Are you using the strip as a supplemental light or as night only or both. either way  looks like the colours would really pop with the led.

What's the model make? Interested in adding something like that myself.

 

[harleymike]

Just got them for viewing at night. See link above.
There only ebay specials out of china. Nothing fancy, but they work.

How many LEDs are on a strip? I have 8 blue led moonlights on my fixture and it shows awesome colours in the corals. I wish my t5's did that

 

[harleymike]

I believe it has 57 leds.
ya, the t5's dont make the colours pop like the led's.

 

[nitro069]

I may be interested in trying that also. have you used it with your t5s? if so do you notice a difference? i remember reading somewhere that if you leave your moonlights on all night it could stress your fish out cause they can see the blue lights and that keeps them awake.

I know when I switched to my ati unit with the ati blue plus bulbs on only, the difference was night and day in coral colouration and the way they "pop".

 

[harleymike]

I strictly baought them too turn on and off manually at night. Just to see what went on during lights out.
I didnt realize how much the corals would glow.
There are probably better options out there, they were only like 20 bucks delivered each.
