pimp4cheddar Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 So I was using a 453nm EcoPico LED Strip in addition to the standard LED lamp that comes with the tank. My EcoPico burned out...the only store carrying them is sold out as Ecoxtic discontinued these and i need to figure out a replacement that size. It was less than 6 inches long (about)...and focused on being a 453nm focused LED fixture. Is there anything on the open market that I can buy that will help add additional lighting to the tank?? I've looked and cannot find anything! Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Reefbrite has the lumi brite all blue 12" for $50 I think. Link to comment
pimp4cheddar Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Have a look at https://blueacro.com/acrostripit's DIY though That looks like an option. I'll look further into them...but I wanted something that was ready to use and not needing to be built. Reefbrite has the lumi brite all blue 12" for $50 I think. 12" in far too long. I need something 6.5" or shorter to fit inside the top. Basically I need something like this: EcoTech stopped making these small ECOPICO LED Strips so now I need to find an alternative for my tank :-( The ones I had burnt out...so now my corals are getting half the light they normally would and none of the color. The stock lights are 36 (low-powered) daylight LED's. I need something to supplement them so any insight from the folks here would be huge! Link to comment

swimmingswammi Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have five of the Ecoxotic 8300. These have two white and one blue bulb. Three are powered by one 12VDC. The other two are independent and have their own 12VDC. interested? I bought them used years ago. They guy had three or four of them on a mixed reef. I added one or two more. A year later I quit the hobby. Two weeks ago I came back with the EVO 13.5. Interested in the 3800? Link to comment
pimp4cheddar Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yoy may have to just build something. I know - I don't have any time to take on something like this so I was really hoping to find something. I have five of the Ecoxotic 8300. These have two white and one blue bulb. Three are powered by one 12VDC. The other two are independent and have their own 12VDC. interested? I bought them used years ago. They guy had three or four of them on a mixed reef. I added one or two more. A year later I quit the hobby. Two weeks ago I came back with the EVO 13.5. Interested in the 3800? If you had the 453nm lights (all blue), I would have purchased them all from you. I need something to supplement the Daylight LED's over the tank. Link to comment

I've looked and cannot find anything! I have strips if you can DIY. six LEDs and will be MUCH more powerful than above. Shoot me a PM. Link to comment
