In Australia so im looking at aussie sites. heres what im looking at its the best but so pricey
Equipment : ATI Sunpower HO T5 Fixture 4 | Reef Direct

That is a nice fixture for sure. I don't know how prices are where you are and how you sit financially but i personally quit buying new fixtures years ago. I get the best for cheap There have to e some reef forums in Australia I am still not sure what "active cooling" means. Are the fans built in ?? Does it have a built in timer ? I think you are payng a lot for looks in that fixture

Yeah it has in built fans and real metal for reflectors.

quick question, with the led light units will white leds grow plants or does the spectrum change they have to be red?

[MAli]

Most of the LED that come like that are only meant for night viewing. If you are talking about just using LEDs then that is a bit of a hot topiv. Some people believe the technology is good enough and others think that LEDs are not quite where they claim to be. There are many threads discussing the very topic of white light and full spectrum.
