    Looking for blue Reef Brite 36 inch tech led strip.
    I have LPS and sps to trade. Also have a wp40 power head and a 16k Maxispect Razor Nano.
    If I dig through some totes I can probably find other stuff for trade. Let me know thanks.

    Sorry I don't have one but have a quick question regarding the reefbrites. For a 48" tank would you suggest the 48" reefbrites or 36" reefbrite? I just imagine there may be a lot of light spillage with the 48" model. Thanks

    I run 2 48 inch reef bites hooked on to my halide fixture. My tank is 48 inches wide. I have them angled in towards middle with no problems.
    Depends how high you go. My fixture is 9 inches above the tank. If you get much higher you will probably have some light spill.
    If you can angle the in a bit you will be fine.
    I am using the tech strips not the xho. Mine are only supplements. If going for main lights go xho.

    I do run a 36 inch reef Brite on my other 120 4ft tank. It's hooked to a 36in t5 fixture. That's what I want the other for. It works good as well.

    The light spill on this is from the halides

    Thanks for the advice. For my purpose I plan to get one fixture now to hang on to an API 6 (or 8) bulb ATI fixture for my standard 75gal. When I upgrade to a 180gal, will add another reefbrite to the opposite side. With adding them to a T5 setup, would you suggest the strips or xho? Seems either a 36" or 48" will work. Thanks again

    When you upgrade to a 180 you gonna want the 60 inch 8 bulb. On a 75 6 bulb is plenty.
    I haven't tried the xho version yet. It's supposed to be similar output as a t5 bulb.
    Depending on what you want to do. Like use for the pop of the royal blues and extend your photo period I would go tech.
    If your looking for more light plus the pop xho.
    Get a reef Brite same size as your ATI. They bolt right up to the sun power no drilling required. Just remove the 2 shroud screws and screw reef Brite brackets right on.
    Takes like 2 minutes.

    There is a LA Fish Guys YouTube video where he is lighting his new 180 with 4 xho strips. 2 blue 2 white. Hooked to his apex.
