I have a 48" evo quad led hood with 48 x 10k white and 16 x 460nm blue 3watt leds for up to 8600 lumens. It is by beamWorks for on amazon for about $270. I can select none or half or all of either of the led types. So I have determined my picky flower pot daisy coral doesn't like any setting or placement with this led hood but it does like an older metal halide hood which also has uv fluorescents I also have tried. Further I found these cheap 12v led light strips on ebay that can even be placed under water in the aquarium which come in anything from 460nm to 20k wavelengths. Would higher 20k be better or more 460nm or what?

My suggest is to acclimate the tank inhabitants to the new lighting. Maybe the 1st week 4hrs, 2nd week 6hrs, 3rd week 8hrs. This is the same producre I used when replacing my MH bulbs. Just a suggestion.
