Marineland tank LEDs strong enough?

[Shattrd3]

I have 2 Marineland tanks a 5g and a 20g that come with LEDs. Are these lights strong enough to grow Zoo's or any type of coral if that?

U think they should be but try not to put it in a dark area

Ha. No.

Those are 0.1 watt LEDs. Total wattage is less than 5 W. but none of the Marineland lights are reef capable.

No sir they are not

Dang it lol! I guess I'll be making a DIY led lighting then lol. Dont have the money to buy a light for the 5 gallon, I just bought a dimmable Tao for my 35 gallon lol

Does anyone have an alternative? I know I read someone buying LED's from like Lowe's?

For a 5 gallon look into par30 or par38 bulbs. I bought 2 from boosted.com for a 20 gallon.. Rapid led also has their version.. Just don't get the ones they sell at home depot
