Marineland Double Bright LED input?

[Donewiththisplace]

Any one have any experience or input on the Marineland Double Bright LED fixture.?? I'm looking to put it over a 55 freshwater but still looking for a decent product.

google it would be decent for a fw but wont grow corals if ya plan to use it on a sw tank

i hear they are nice, but kinda dim. from videos i saw it looks close to a single flor. bulb with a blue tint. youtube has guys with videos of that light on their tanks.

they look nice though. nice and slim.

I was just speaking with some folks about this fixture and the concensus was that it is more suited to a FOWLR than a reef tank. Not necessarily what you want to grow corals under.

I'm gonna be using it over a FW tank...and yeah the videos on youtube appear that it is kind of dull. Not as bright as I would have expected. I want to go with reasonably priced LED's but if the output is not that good i'm gonna go with a T5 fixture.

Thanks for the input.
