Current USA TrueLumen led strips

[Another Outlet]

Anyone have any experience with these leds.
My tank is a standard 90gal. Mixed reef with sps.
Im looking to purchase (6) 48in strips.
(2) marine fusion, (2) deepwater blue, (2) diamond white.
Currently I have (2) 250w 14k metal halide and (4) 54w t5s.

Any comments greatly appreciated

Welcome to MR!

Here is a link to a ADA 120p (47.24in X 17.72in X17.72) tank currently running solely on the true lumen leds.

They are running 4x 48" True Lumen Pro LEDs

He seems to be having success with them.

I personally dont think they will penetrate deep enough for a 90 gallon tank and would search for alternative lighting.

Sorry they are Truelumen Pro led strip lights

personally 6 strips, costing you $185 bucks a pop, which is $1110 total...you could be doing WAY better LED fixtures if your willing to be spending that kind of money...

Making the switch also looked at the acan 2x18in a104ac.
Any other suggestions?

is your heart really set on LEDS? Acan lighting is very very nice, but personally overpriced. others will argue, but honestly LEDS are just really getting popular, but this is an expensive hobby, save money where you can. you watch, soon led fixtures will go down in price when the hype drops. why not a tek light 8 or 10 bulb t5? thats only going to run you $380-400 for the fixture only and plenty of light for your 90g to do any LPS or SPS. and not to mention your going to be saving 700+ bucks...

Ill consider that option
thanks

If you go with LEDs go with two AIs... So far they are the only proven upgradeable led option in the states and they produce some amazing light.
