Wrong LEDs.

[mrarturocampos]

Hey guys, so about 6 months ago the LFS by my house was having a 50% off all lights, and at that time I had a 4 ft t5 over a 6 ft tank, so I purchased two 36in fluval full spectrum marine LEDs. I thought if was a good upgrade for the price. I now know they are not very good. So my question is, what can I add to supplement these lights to get better growth? Thanks

Onyx fixtures from rapid LED or reef breeders or Taotronics

Whats your budget?

Canopy or open top?...

Those look like for freshwater systems, if its the one that came up on a quick search...

Budget not sure, I guess the most affordable, I do have a canopy but has open top

There is a fresh water light but the ones I purchased are for marine reef,

So the spectrum is on the bluer side?...

So with a canopy there is so many options... Asfar as growth, who knows what will happen... There is so many other variables when it comes to growth....

Maybe add 2 T5s with daylight bulbs and use the led fixtures as actinics, leave t5s on for 4-6 hours...

Same with MH but heat will be a factor.....
