    and no, they are not dimmable. we were looking into that, however we found out that having them be dimmable cuts their lifespan by half. so we decided not to pursue that.

    Ours are growing just fine under them. No bleaching out. In fact we have seen growth on a few different ones from the couple weeks that we switched from MH to these LEDs in our frag tank

    On the tank that the readings were taken, they were hung 15" above the water. On our frag that had no readings taken, they are 12".

    Interesting, I've actually heard that reasoning cited before by another company.
