Reef Brite XHO 72" White LED light Strip

[Dendence]

I have a coralife aqualite pro 72"

I saw these on your website.
Reef Brite XHO 72" White LED light Strip
Would one strip replace or come close to the same brightness of 3-150w hqi lamps ?
Eventually I would get the blue also to replace the atinics in my aqualite pro hood.

Just sent you back an email, but I'll copy here as well...

Doing a single strip will not come close to what you have now. You would need at the very minimum of two strips = 5 x T5 lamps running over the tank, or 3 strips to equal your currently metal halide setup that you have. I would think that just going with 2 strips would probably be just fine for you with a soft and lps setup though.

The True Lumen Pro wouldn't come close to the same light output as the ReefBrite's. You would need 2 or 3 strips of True Lumen's to equal a single ReefBrite strip. Here is a comparison test I did on those:

The colors on the fish and corals are so amazing with the Reefbrites.You can see lines on the fish that I couldn't see before. I have had them for a few days and the corals look so much better.With the blue on by itself the colors are incredible and light up the whole tank. Right now I have one white, one blue, one 50/50. Just ordered another white.
Thanks for your help
