Fluval Nano Marine LED Lamp

Hello, just wondering has anyone tried this light? Also do you think 13watts is enough for a 15gallon tank - to grow LPS Corals?

I have not used it, but any claim that a 13W LED fixture is going to lead to successful reefing is suspect to me.

My issue isn't that it's 13 watts but that each led only draws less than .25watts. That isn't much penetrating power and thus I doubt can grow coral. My 32 watt kessil grows sps near the sand in my 20 high so wattage doesn't always tell the story.

I agree completely... I made the assumption at 13W we were dealing with extremely underpowered per-LED wattage... which translates to abysmal PAR ratings.

Very true I think the fixture has almost 150 leds too.
