Specifications:
Body material: Thermoplastic
Circuitry board material: Diecast Chrome
60 Blue light LEDs: 465nm (nanometer) wave length
165 Red light LEDs: 650nm (nanometer) wave length
165 + 60 = Total 225 LEDs
These are more like actinics. I would think you will need additional lighht as well in the 10K range. I'm not an expert just my opinion. Looks cool though!

Red is designed more to grow plants.... therefore its better designed to grow algae

There are multiple issues with these LED's.
For one, they're extremely under powered unless you plan to have nothing but maybe some mushrooms, and even then, they won't grow fast.
And these are very yellow, and going to make most corals brown.
I'll let you keep searching and won't bother this thread anymore.. I don't want to give a reason for everything you search for. Information is out on the web on what LED's people use to grow corals.
