Maybe, but maybe not. I found out the hard way that not all cheap leds will grow SPS well....

I just think it's weird that they're advertising their blues at 460 nm, when royal Blues are supposed to be at 450nm. I know it seems close, but there can be a big difference. Seems like a pretty limited fixture. If they were using neutral or warm whites, then you would cover the "full spectrum" base at least by the Reds orange and yellows that the warmer whites provide.

Have you seen the lights in person, or is this off the innerweb?

I personally would look at fixtures with more variation in the LEDs.

Sounds like a Taotronics fixture. It has a poor ratio of blues to whites (1:1), lacks decent spectrum and those lights don't have a great reputation for quality or longevity. I'd pass.

Ya I'm getting them for 70 wanted to usr them over my bio cube to hey rid of the stock pc lights but your thinking I should pass them?

 

[swk]

They don't SOUND like a good fixture to me. I would wait for something better, maybe keep your eye out for a used kessil or something.

If you are using something in a biocube, I would refrain from using an optics also, unless you plan to hang it. Since the LED are so close to the water, assuming you are going to do some kind of retrofit. There are a lot better fixtures out there that are still very cheap, Chinese LED wise. You want to look for something that atleast has 420nm blue - 460nm royal blue, 410nm UV, 6500k-10k whites. To answer your question though... you MIGHT be able to support easy sps and possibly a nem. Hard to give a definite yes or no without trying though. Always a good idea not to cheap on lighting and skimming in this hobby though.

I went from two different types of LEDs and went to T5s. I am the happiest with my T5s and Reefbrites. My corals started growing a lot faster and look better

This. Leds were too smart for me. I struggled a Long while until I bought t5s to rule out lighting as my issue....
