(6g NC) Alternative light source?

[MVS]

Hey,

 

I have a really nice colony of Green Ricordea Yuma mushrooms that require a moderate lighting source. I’m running the stock 18w light but the situation is the only place for this coral is in an area where it could get a little more lighting; they’re starting to extend fully up towards the light source. The coral is placed towards the front left hand corner of the tank, directly under the lid of the tank where the lighting is not at its best. I was thinking of getting a white LED version of the following light and placing them under the feeding lap directly over the coral.

 

Any thoughts of how this lighting will work as an added light source?

Those lights are used to simulate lighting effects of the moon. They are not meant to be used in place of daylight type lighting. Adding more PC wattage would help your Rics.

I actually meant a white version. Never the less, since it took so long for a response I posted a duplicate in the lighting forum. If you're interested you can view it there.

 

Thanks again
