Best LED for pico frag tank


William

Recommended Posts

I plan to turn the stock ATO resavoir on my Red Sea Reefer Nano into a tiny frag tank. Demensions: 8"x4.5"x9"

 

I would like a light that would light the whole tank evenly and would allow for good coloration/growth without a large amount of light spillage .... any thoughts?

Pharaoh Hound (Jax)

That's what I thought. He's a beauty. I have a Saluki I adopted when I lived in the Middle East. Her name is Layla. She loves to run and it's fun to watch her. I'm sure Jax is the same way since he's also a hunting dog like Saluki's are.

He is very much a sight hound. He actually lives back in Texas with my parents now. A small NYC apartment didn't work very well for him

You can do a par30 or par38 from coral compulsion. They offer both in full spectrum.

My only question with this is wearher or not it will be too focused (if right above the tank) or have too much light spillage if it is far away? They don't have any strip light options do they?

I've used par38's with no issue on a 15g. Many use them.

 

The only way with led to not get any spilling on walls is by making a canopy.

 

If you are looking for long fixtures

 

Current orbit

Aquamaxx nemo or marine

I guess what I am looking for is something less than 8" long that i can place fairly close to the water level that will not have a huge

Amount of spread outside of the area

 

Something like this (I guess) http://m.marinedepot.com/products/zp01407/wave-point-blade-ho-led-aquarium-light-super-blue-10k
