Just wondering if the mini led would be a better light for my 2.5g. Would it show the colour of the coral/colour up the coral better or are the led's on both lights similar that I wouldn't notice a difference? I'm debating on eventually adding 2 more eco pico led strips or just buying a better led light. Wondering which would be a better way to go. Thanks Laurie
I would say you will get much more light from the Aqua Mini. It uses Cree 3w LEDs compared to the 1 in the EcoPico. It also has a good color ratio for Royal Blue to White.
