Tangina20 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Does anyone have experience changing the spectrum on their Chinese black box led light? I’ve read online that blue lights around 450nm and 10k white lights are best for coral growth? I was also wondering if I need to get rid of the red and green and yellow led’s. If I take them out should I replace them with blues or whites? Here is a diagram of my current spectrum. Quote Link to comment
Horerczy Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I wouldnt change anything. 10k white and 450 blue may make for good growth but the color rendering would suck. Quote Link to comment
lpsouth1978 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 That actually seems like a pretty decent mix of LED colors.If anything, I might swap out a few of the 6500k for some blues in the 420-450nm range. You could also swap a couple of the red LED's, you really don't need 4 of them. Beyond these changes, I would probably leave it alone. Quote Link to comment

lpsouth1978 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I was able to find them on amazon a couple months ago, ebay would also have them. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Do you already have the light ? If not take a look at these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07G42FR32/ref=sspa_mw_detail_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment
