can i use led for my salt water reef

[omgtkseth]

I would call them 'dimensions', rather than components... I have a question, can I use saltwater lightning for a fish-only non-saltwater aquarium? Will it harm the fish?

@Aviator1510 expert village is the village idiot.

While true, he is talking about the wattage needed per gallon. 0.5-1 for a FO and 3-5 for a FOWLR. If one bulb was the same nm as reef lights yet it did not have enough wattage, you could put more light to cover a bigger surface and to meet the wpg requirements.

notice he said qualified, this guy isnt qualified to pull his jock down

What you are saying about cramming a bunch of bulbs under the hood is wrong. No matter how many Normal output lamps you use they will never produce the par needed for a reef. One thing you forgot to mention is with any Fluorescent bulb a reflector is almost always needed.
