Led to compliment ATI t5

[gotbags-10]

Been a few years since I've had a tank. Just set up a 180g. I have the 5ft ATI fixture with 4 bulbs. What LED strip could I use in addition that fixture? Also any recommendations on t5 bulbs? Thanks

What is your reasons for wanting LED additions?
As far as bulbs go do you prefer a whiter more sunlit/natural/good color rendition light or deeper water blue all the way to acid trip fluorescent

I'd like to get some sps going. Just trying to get some better growth

That didn't help us narrow down the choices

I bought it from local saltwater store. The guy said it would definitely grow sps but very slowly so he reccomended adding a high power led strip to the side of the t5 fixture

You probably should have gone with the 6 or 8 bulb fixture if you want sps. As for led additions, check out Reef Breeders, Reef Brite or Orphek. Reef Breeders gives you the option when you check out on what kind of hardware you need and ATI is one of the options. They also have 4 spectrums to choose from or you can tell them which leds you want in the light.

Got a budget?
Is buying another t5 fixture identical to what you have out of the question/budget?
