    Seeing that OCReef is a sponsor here, on my favorite forum, I figured I would share a picture of the PAR38 they sent out this week. It has an awesome mix with four whites, six royal blues and two UV diodes. I also happened to hear that they're on sale right now!

    The soft corals in the pico under this light already have better color. I'm starting to believe the hype about UV.

    I don't believe so, but hopefully they will chime in.

    How wide do these spread? I have 2 250W MH and would like to add some LED supplements and was wondering if one on each side of the tank would work with these. It would be much easier then making a LED supplement strip.

    Says on their website, that it's dimable with a common household dimmer. So, I'd say that probably would work.
