Best ebay lights.

[Steo the great]

Looking at some lights through eBay and just wondering which would be the best has anyone any experience with some.

And especially any difference between full aperture lighting and just blue and white.

Thanks

The difference between the multicolored lights and the straight blue and whites is simply the look. It does nothing for the growth and actual coloration of your corals. It may make them appear a bit different, but it's not going to color them up better.
It's a matter of personal preference.
I know it's a lot of reading, but you could skim through this thread-

I gave it a quick read there. I have the taotonics. Inward just worried there weren't good enough for my 2 foot depth. But by reading others about it all they seem like they will be fine?

You have these aswell don't you?

Yes. You can keep stony corals and clams on the sand bed if you like.
