I just recently set up a new 47 gallon aquarium that I would like to turn into a macroalgae tank, but I haven't chosen what lights to run on the aquarium yet. I've been looking at led fixtures. I thought about doing a DIY led, but I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather just buy one I think. I was looking to find a fixture that was $350 or less (preferably less). While I want the tank to mainly be a macroalgae tank, I thought it would be cool to try my hand at keeping an anemone and a clam in the aquarium down the road. I realize that macroalgae and anemones and clams require very different lighting spectrums and intensities, which could make things difficult. Any suggestions?
I've been looking into the Ecoray 60D fixture (I like how they turned out on Winnie's tank :Cheers:). However, I'm worried that the light spectrum and the light intensity may be too much for macroalgae. I've read that the lights were so strong that in some cases corals started bleaching. Are led fixtures something that I should even be considering for a macroalgae tank?
