LED Supplement Advice

[rhudgins]

I have a 34 gallon Solana tank running a coralife 150 watt mh pendant with a 14k phoenix bulb. The tank is nice but I am looking to get a little more "pop" in the color of the corals. Can anyone recommend a good LED strip of some kind as a supplemental light? Are there are any flexible LED strip lights that I could mount to the bottom rim of the pendant instead of a solid strip that lies across the length of the tank?

Any advice would be great!

Thanks

is the coralife 150 mh round or rectangular? If round, then you are out of luck. If the rim is hot, you are out of luck too. Otherwise, there are options you can choose from.

The rim is round and it does not get hot. I am not a DIY kind of guy lol so that is probably out of the equation. Does anybody else have any ideas.

I don't know a good one, but I know that the EcoXotic Stunner strips would not be good. I have one for a moonlight and when my LED's and LED strip are on at the same time you can't tell the strip is on. I know LED's and MH are not the same, but I imagine it would be the same scenario. Multiple strips maybe?? But IMO not worth the money to experiment!

If you don't mind the messy look(there is no easy way to mount it on your fixture without tipping the balance,) consider a 27-30W Blue LED spot.

Can you send me a link to a website with the led spot?
