Octopus grow marine led 90w.... Opinions please?

[-Darren-]

hello everyone.

I'm new to marine reefing and would like to set up a 15g reef tank with soft corals.

 

So, my question is: what are people's opinions and/or personal experiences with "octopus grow marine led 90w" light units?

thanks, Dean

No one used these before?

Looks about like the 120w fixtures you see on ebay. Itll be fine for a 15g maybe even too much. I dont know if it is dimmable. Also the price is kinda steep I think

Go to google, type '120watt LED', and you'll see pages of the same unit with a different color scheme all over the place. Some as low as $175.

 

Way over-kill for a 15gal, but if you can get the dimmable versions you're all set. Not worth $250 though.

Being from Australia I'm not too keen on buying stuff over the net from America due to the electrical differences.

 

What kind of lighting would you recommend for a 15g/ 2ft reef tank?

a kessil.

Darren, I am also from Aus and looking at lights at the moment! Difficult to find non-US options, which as you say aren't feasible due to the electric differences.

 

I spoke to a guy at the LFS recently about lights, I don't believe that Kessil has a distributor in Australia unfortunately.

 

An option could be 2-3 BoostLED PAR30 lamps - I have one above each of my picos. Even then it is tricky to find suitable fixtures! I ended up hacksawing some lamps to make them work.
