I am looking at purchasing a new LED light for my upcoming 30 gallon cube build. What type of corals can be supported with this fixture?

10x too much light for that application 60 watts or less would be way bwtter

It would be more than sufficient for your situation. You'll need to be cautious to acclimate your corals to the LEDs. Start out with them very dim, and work up over a period of a couple months. I'd also suggest getting your hands on a Par meter (maybe from a local reeding club). Then you'd have statistical data as to how much light you're getting with each setting in various parts of your tank...

We purchased this for a 65 gallon aquarium and grew mushrooms, hammer coral, duncans, candy cane, ricordia, pulsing xenias, and zoas with good success. The blue lights are extremely bright and the corals all seemed to love them after we shut the sunlight off in the evening.

This would really depend on the type of tank you are planning. For a Fish Only style tank, two of the Pro LED Strips would give decent light coverage. For "low" light requiring corals you would want at least 4 strips. One power supply (sold separately) can run two of the 36"L strips with a splitter cable (sold separately).

I use this and the magenta light to grow my Mangrove and algae. The corals don't seem to mind either, but there are dedicated Kessil lights that you might want for saltwater that might look and work better.

Get two. I love mine. No problems with the lights or the company. My corals and fish are doing amazing. Was definately worth the money.

I have mine on a 72 gal mixed reef, soft, lps and sps corals. I run the light full power, blue and white...everything seems to thrive.

These replace burned out units OR, can be added to the empty slots in the lighting hood. I assume you are talking about the CoraLife Biocube 29 gal. You have a single LED unit and then lower down you have four LED units. The left switch on the top of the cube controls the single unit and the 2nd from the left controls the four units. You must have the single unit on before the 4 units will light with their switch.

This lighting system is suitable for all photosynthetic corals. Be sure to acclimate your tank or new corals to the new light by slowing increasing its exposure/intensity to the light. Hope this helps!

http://www.marineland.com/Products/aquarium-lighting/LED-Aquarium-Lighting.aspx, found this info on there website. I assume you can buy another from there.

I would not use this light with a non-planted tank as the PAR would support algae. I would use a basic LED light if you want viewing ability only along with the shimmer effect they create. I don't believe you can purchase extended mounts either.

2 light fixtures are necessary for full coverage on a 48" tank. i've owned these for almost a year with no problems and all corals are thriving!

No you will need 2 lights, to light up the entire tank for corals to thrive.

Hello and thank you for your question as i would be happy to answer:The lights on this new solar underwater light show model have the newest and brightest LED's. i would start off with 1 unit and see how well it works for you depending on your preference. Feel free to contact us anytime at fxg@game-group.com

I wouldn't, maybe softs but they won't be strong. Also this is designed for rimless tanks or a very small rim. The light just wont penetrate a tank that tall. There are some adjustable led ppucks from aquamana reef fixtures for the same price as two of these that look promising. Dont have one though

If you have a nano fish-only then this would work fine, but nowhere near enough light output for corals. (maybe some softies?) I am using one, but as a light over my sump/refugium on my saltwater tank.

greetings, this lamp for marine aquariums REEF .. not for freshwater aquarium. Check and read carefully before making an unnecessary expense. If you want to buy is your decision: I do not know what the behavior of plants inside the aquarium with the lighting. I recommend and look ORBIT LED lamps .. Greetings. NelsonC

Unfortunately, we are not sure. I emailed company twice to find out and they never responded with the answer I needed. It came very well packed, but with not instructions. Just light, hanging kit and a sticker that has their name on it. I would assume anywhere between 12,000-14,000 K. We have the light hanging 9 inches above a 30 gallon cube tank and the corals are doing awesome! I love how you can dim both the blue and white LEDs.

the fixture includes the lights. It is the only fixture i have on my 300 gallon 29 inch deep tank. It lights the center up very well and the mushroom corals grow great. I kind of light the way the center is bright and the light dims as it reaches the ends of the tank. Two more of these fixtures would be required to light up the whole tank, as the tank is 8 feet long. The light easily reaches the bottom though.
