Q: Will it have enought WPG (watts per gallon) to grow light sensative coral?
A: When choosing your aquarium lighting (especially Reef or Planted Freshwater), there is much more to consider than watts per gallon.
In fact the 2-5 watts per gallon 'rule' (this rule varies depending upon what is kept & who you ask) is a VERY basic start however this is very general and quite out-dated due to the variety available modern lights with varying lumens per watt lights, different wavelength, focused lumens, PAR output, etc..
Sadly the watts per gallon "rule" for aquarium lighting is still thrown around today despite all the technological advances in lighting which often makes this grossly inaccurate.
A high PAR/PUR LED from the most exclusive/best emitter bins can only need 4% of the wattage as a T12 to produce the same results, but even then many LEDs available such as those sold by mass merchandisers are not of high useful PAR output (PUR), as these often use much lower quality emitters.
Q:Whats the Advantage of Having a 670nm RED L.E.D?
A: 670nm Red-L.E.D 's Simulates Sunrise and Sunset essential to chlorophyl production in aquatic photosynthesis. With our dimmer sets (wireless and connected) you can control any aspect of the tanks coloring. The 670nm Red L.E.D can mix with our 450nm Blue L.E.D to create a lovely purple color that is becoming more and more popular! Both LPS and SPS love the 670nm Red and simply cannot get enough for it! They go CRAZY FOR IT!!
Q: Does the fixture get hot? Will I need any fans?
A: No and NO!! Our L.E.D fixtures are Intergrated with Aluminum Heatsink Casings to hold running tempatures below 100 degrees. This alows you to save even more on electricty and equipment by not having a chiller! Our fixrture are barely warm to the touch!
