Steve’s LEDs?

NelsonWells · 10/24/2017, 07:12 PM

I have a biocube 32 LED and was looking at upgrading the lights . I see a lot of people like Steve’s so I’ve been to there site and was going to purchase the kit. My question is there are a few things that I can add to the purchase and was wondering what they are for and what they do.
1. Bluefish mini vs. hurricane x
2. Iridescence booster?
Also they give me the option to loose 2 blues and swap them for reds is that good? What would be the difference.
Thank you

The Hurricane X is a wired controller, where to change any of the settings (light schedule / intensity) you'll need to navigate menus with a scroll wheel thing.... Then the Bluefish is a controller that is accessed via WiFi, so you do the adjusting on your phone.

The iridescence booster means they switch out 4 royal blue LEDs for some Violet ones, meaning that you'll get more of that black light effect with some corals.

Those are personal choices... I personally would go with the iridescence booster but that is up to you...

Then for the Red LEDs, I wouldn't, there will be plenty of red light in their white emitters, and 2 of them would be too much for this fixture any way...

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info I went ahead and got them with the iridescence booster and also upgraded to the bluefish. So I hope it all works out.
