Changing leds in a mars aqua

[fishkeeprian]

Hello I'm currently running a 300w black box over my tank. I would like to replace the reds and green leds, is this a good idea? are those colours beneficial at all?

What colours would be more beneficial?

Thanks

Yes they are beneficial...mainly for increased color rendition.. There are only a few...replacing is not beneficial..

Why would you want to replace something without knowing anything about it?

The reed and green diodes can help with some color rendition, but I don't think they'd be missed. The white LEDs also put out some red and green spectrum.

If I were to use Mars Aqua on a reef, I'd swap in some 420nm LEDs to get a little actinic in there.

The couple of times I’ve used marsaqua leds I’ve swapped out the reds and greens with royal blues and the warm whites with cool whites.
