Lightning for 125gal FOWLR !!!

[kiv9721]

Hi everyone, i'm working on my 125gal FOWLR . I have 72" coralife lunar fixture and Dimmable120W chinese LED. So which on is better ???
Light bulb for fixture is 96W each x4=384W ( 2- 10k daylight, 2- 460nm )
LED light just 120W each x2= 240W
Let me know what you think. Please and thank you

FOWLR? Lighting is good viewing, not too important.

since you have both pick the type that looks nicer

To be honest, your running up your electric bill for no reason. I have LED strip lights (white/blue) that consume a total of 22W on my 7ft FOWLR and the shimmer is amazing.
Save the lighting (bulb/fixture hours) for when you go reef & find something that pulls less wattage. If your car requires/calls for regular gas there's no need to put in premium.

Good luck

I have 750w of metal halide lighting on my fowlr....

Correct no need putting premium in a car that doesn't need it just like a yugo can get you from point a to b just like a Bugatti veyron can

I would go the coral life route if it was me. Every led I have seen the shimmer looks to fake

If you do not want to use what you have a pair of current freshwater satellite plus leds would work well for a fowlr and they have a controller.

First, thanks everyone. I have both of them, that's why im wonder which on is better. Because 125Gal has 6' long. 2 LED are not quite for all corner inside. if i get 3 is gonna be the same with coralife. i dont' pay electric bill but i still have to care about it )
