    I have a 65g reef. looking to switch to led. I am currently running 2 150w mh . What are so decent brands that are not to pricey. I saw some 120 w taotronic china lights on ebay, Does anyone have input on these lights? Are they junk?

    Thanks

    A lot of people bought the reefbreeders unit. reefbreeders is a sponsor here now.

    so the $ 199 dollar reef breeder fixture has 55 3w bridgelux. that does mean its 165w fixture right? also what is the $49 dollar add on 90 degree optic?

    Thanks

    It draws about 113 watts at full power, and less as you dim it. The add on will add optics, which will concentrate the light more, and reduce light spill, as well as increase overall par values, and light penetration.

    cool. do you think one will be plenty for my 65g 36 by 18 by 24. also will it be strong enough light for any form of coral?
