Was just looking at the Cree website there and unfortunately 450nm the ones we have are the lowest wavelength they produce

I wonder if they will try to bring out lower range colors just for reefs. My guess is I doubt it.

People have to source their violet led's from makers other than Cree...I think they are getting more popular now though.

Do you know who is making them? I've been looking but not coming up with much.

hey,

could you send me an email with a quote for a kit suitable for my tank.
also those pictures of hoods/fixtures would be great.

the lights would be only a couple inches above the water as i cannot have them suspended higher due to light spillage. so i guess i would need some sort of protection from the tank water. glass shield be sufficient?

thanks!
