Any Moderately priced LED for marine water?
Can anyone introduce me to some cheap LED lighting for marine water LED?
Mainly looking for cree lighting but bridgelux is okay too. I saw quiet a few brands in store but they are all so expensive, I was hoping someone could give me some advice on some cheaper and good quality LED lights for marine water. Appreciate any advice given. |

The words cheaper and marine aquarium are not often used together in this hobby.

To some people (for instance, Kien ), Mitras are cheap and to some, DIYs are cheap. So you will have to narrow that down

Sorry I was a bit vague but I saw in store was a bit pricey for the quality of lighting it provided. I am not the DIY kinda of guy so I am planning to just get a quality light. Say what kind of brand would you guys recommend? I saw Zetlight introduced earlier in this section but there are mixed reviews so I kinda want more opinions.
Thanks so much. |

Pretty varied lighting requirements, however if you are planning on starting out with easy to maintain inhabitants, you can dim down most of the LED lights so as not to cook the corals you choose.
