Led lighting recomendations?

[Alex]

Aquarium Village, the new LFS across from the Source mall in Carle Place sells Acan and AI LED lighting. If you want to see them in person.
Dont know what kind of product knowledge they have, they both look like sweet lights.
They also sell the cheaper LEDs.

Is that the place that bought out Aquarium Adventures?

no i believe its further down. Aquarium village is directly across from where fortunoff was, cheesecake factory, etc on Old Country rd.

aquarium adventures is now pet warehouse.

Does anyone know the pros and cons of the new acan prism vs the regular 600.

I know one pro is the different color LED brings out the colors on the coral and fish.

Prism Pro-Colors
Cons-PAR rating is less.

No Pets Warehouse took over the AA location.
Village Aquarium is across from Cheesecake Fatory.

Cons-PAR rating is less.

thanks i figured that had to be some loss since the number of LEDs dont change but the number of whites and blues are reduced.

any idea how significant the par loss is?

nevermind i see the Prism par values on the company website.

Good article in Coral Magazine, story starts on page 40 and has a quick light guide on page 47 on what corals require.
