Macaquatics Led Light Unit 24"

[forever]

Looking at buying these off another member to replace my twin T5, will these be good enough for plants? I have a co2 system and my plants are growing very well, any thoughts

Can't say I have experience with these and when looked up online caouldn't find anything but reef fixtures. Got any specs?

This is what I have Only 4 months old, this light unit has 23 10,000k white LEDs and 4 royal blue LEDs, and a rocker switch which allows all off, all on, or just blue on. Currently in use over a freshwater tropical tank but could be used for marine to give a huge cost saving over standard t5/t8 tubes. The unit has expanding brackets which will allow it to be used on tanks ranging from 24-36". I have had good plant growth with this, but am positive it would work on both fresh or salt water where a 10,000k light was required.

Do you know the power of the unit in watts or lumens or both?

The whites are 3w

How many litres in the tank its going over?

330, it's a 67x67x67 cube,

That will be fine over your tank, perfect amount of light really as its deep, just make sure you get good spread as its a cube, btw its 300litres . It will work out just above low light so if you want plants then a low tech set up would be good, no CO2, some ferts and good flow.

Thanks for the help, so it would be better than buying another T5 setup
