Lictoga Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Looking at getting a led light for fish only, won't be getting plants in this tank. i currently have a aqua something's led with white and blues that kinda washes out fish colours and compared to when in sunlight the difference is stupid. so looking for suggestions on a 3ft light for fish colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam07 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 What about just cheap strip light if it's fish only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I just run one of these in the cupboard. Lights up whole house without even needing an led. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lictoga Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Makemyled.com.au Was thinking about them, just not sold on the build quality. They seem a bit plastic and breakable to me.

pony-tail Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 BeamsWork are a cheap plastic light with plenty of light for fish only and not so much as to cause huge algae booms I used them when I was breeding 'Tangs and they did the job .one of the sponsors sell them - can't remember which one . I have a couple of 4ft and a couple of 3ft but unfortunately too far away . But I can recommend them as suitable for purpose though . They can be found on eBay too - Do not buy their marine one as they will cause extreme algae problems . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatic7 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Just bought a 4ft Beamsworks RGB from Aquaholics to run on my Ellioti tank, this really makes the colours POP and a great price to go as well.

Welcome to view if you wish. I was looking at the RGB. I watched a vid on YouTube showing the RGB and it seems to bring out the Reds more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1l3nt Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Was thinking about them, just not sold on the build quality. They seem a bit plastic and breakable to me. If you have them let me know what you think Build quality is good IMO. I have them on 3 different tanks now, and very pleased with them. They are not plastic, the heat sink half is aluminium so it actually acts like a heat sink for the LEDs rather than plastic. If you are concerned, shoot Fred an email he is very helpful. I found their support, product and after sales support very good personally as have numerous others I know. Happy to shoot you some pics if you want? Just PM me what you want to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
