jnelson Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Even for soft corals and other low-light corals, I wouldn't use just the stunner strips. I don't think you would get the kind of penetration you'd need. What's your budget like? I would actually consider PAR 30/38 bulbs with 40 degree optics for this. Put two on top and it should be able to penetrate all the way to the bottom. If your budget is higher, you could go for some kind of controllable/dimmable unit. Link to comment
