Stunner Strips

[MurphysLaw]

I am thinking I want to supplement my 4x54watt T5HO fixture with some stunner strips to get that awesome shimmer effect and to get some color pop. Does anyone have any experience or insight with these? Or are selling any?

I really like the EcoXotic ones but I am unsure if I would need 48" worth or like 3 12" strips spread out a little...
I also don't know which colors would be best 403nm UV, 454nm Blue, or Blue/Magenta combo...
I also like the CurrentUSA TruLumen strips.

Would these be bright enough to get a nice shimmer while my main lights are on?
-Blue+
-Purple+
-Coral+
-Blue+

I have them on my frag tank and they work great! I have the 403nm UV which makes the color pop on my sps frags and also have the 8000k/454nm combo which gives a nice shimmer. I really enjoy the two and the nice thing about these lights is that you can daisy chain up to six 12" stunner strips on one power cord. Since your light combo is more blue; to add shimmer I would recommend either the 8000k (nice white color with shimmer) or the 454nm/8000k (slight blue color with shimmer). As far as getting the 48" inch light or a couple of the 12" inch strips that's up to you and your budget. If want more of a cleaner look the 48" might be the way to go but I would check out some YouTube videos to see what would look best on your tank. You don't have to listen to me because for myself I'm a visual person and I have to see it for myself in order to make a decision. Hope this helped!
