Best LEDs for 30" deep sps tank

[Mattl22]

I have 2 led fixtures I bought for my 225 30" deep sps tank
I'd like to either revamp it with more blue LEDs or possibly just buy a few manufactured units!

Which LEDs will cover 30"down and grow sps ???

Three kessils would be nice. They are also coming out with a new light which is supposed to be really awesome.

Got a 30" deep myself and am using radion pro. They are on sale now and also modular.

pacific sun, very strong light can penetrate very deep waters and great for SPS

light emitting diodes in there usage for reef lighting depends upon proper focus of the PAR light cone. Deeper water requires specific lenses for this purpose, the more narrow the lens the further the PAR light cone passes through the water. Each manufacturer has specific lenses that fit over the wafer face .I would recommend 40 degree for a 30" deep tank. keep in mind individual manufacturers require there own lens CREE, EXOTIC, PHILLIPS,BRIDGELUX,etc also you need more LEDs because the cone gets narrower to illuminate more area
