The best in High Output CFL Aquarium Lights: SHO Aquarium Lights
The SHO is a light proven in Greenhouse applications with PROVEN results for plant growing applications.

PAR 38 High Output Daylight Lights, planted aquariums, hydroponics, Rio Mini Sun Clamp LED
First, specimen or plant placement is key, for instance a generalized recommendation for 40 gallon planted tank would be (2) GroBeam 500/600s (24 watts total).
HOWEVER with just one 12 watt LED Strip, one can still grow plants well if placed directly under the lighting as per an employee here with just 1 GroBeam on his 40 gal. aquarium.
See this picture link: 40 Gallon Planted, 1 GroBeam
This goes for delicate reef corals also placed at depths between 2-24" from the surface.
Second as per LED lighting, these LED lights (along with T2s) are so compact, that it is easy to add more light strips at a later time into your hood/canopy; so even if you are unsure of the number of strips you will need or your budget is "tight", you can always add more later if your lighting requirements are not met.
Third; "Watts Per Gallon? The commonly used formula is very outdated for comparing different light types, however such a formula can still be used once figured for a SPECIFIC light system.
The formula below is for high end emitters used by TMC AquaRays in tanks under 30 inches in depth. This "Watts Per Gallon" formula is ONLY for Aqua Ray LEDs, not other LEDs:
*For Freshwater Fish only, .2 to .3 watt per gallon
*For low to medium light planted freshwater aquarium or for saltwater fish only; .3 to .4 watt per gallon (or for Marine Fish Only).
*For a high light planted freshwater aquarium .6 per gallon are required or for Reef "Softies"
*For a SPS/LPS Reef Tank .8 per gallon generally works:
See: Watts Per Gallon Comparison
* For Nano Aquariums, Fresh or Saltwater (under 15 gallons) one Mini 500 for all but the most delicate reef inhabitants or one Mini 400 for ANY high light planted aquarium.
* Small Aquariums (under 20 gal.), often one GroBeam or AquaBeam 500/600 LED will work.
For planted FW or Reef needing more light consider two, or complimenting an LED with a New Generation T2 Light Fixture. You could also add a second AquaBeam 600 or GroBeam 500.
Consider an AquaBeam Ultra 1000 or GroBeam 1000/1500 for a Hex tank such as a 20 gallon for more light in a smaller tank "foot print".
* For Medium Aquariums (such as a 60 gallon), generally two AquaRay 500/600 LEDs will work well for fish or medium light plants, however with higher light needs (sps corals, high light FW plants, etc.) consider 4 LED Strips (mixing LED types may be advisable too such as Reef White & Marine Blue for Reef Tanks).
Two Ocean Blue NP Ultima would also be a good choice for a standard 60 or 75 gallon.
One "Ocean Blue NP Ultima" or Two "Reef White 600" would provide excellent lighting for a 29 gal/ Bio Cube reef tank.
.
Two of the GroBeam 1000/1500s can also be employed in planted 75 gallon tanks
* For larger aquariums, consider combinations of different Aqua Ray LED Lights, such as (2) Natural Daylight (GroBeam) 1000/1500 + (2) GroBeam 600s for a 125 gallon planted freshwater tank.
Consider adding T2s, T5s to increase lighting & compliment the LED for high light need aquariums.
For deeper tank 'high light' planted FW penetration over 24 inches, the marine white 600 or 1000 can be used in a 1 to 2 (1 Marine White to 2 GroBeams) for deep planted aquariums.
For Marine/Reef Aquariums, the depth of your specimen placement determines more than the depth of your aquarium; in other words a SPS coral kept at 6" under the surface in a 30" deep aquarium does not require as much depth penetrating light energy as this same coral at 12" in an 18" deep aquarium.
So, high light requiring specimen placement (in depth under the surface) can help determine which LED combination is best.
As a generalization the Reef White (600 or 1000) has the widest application spread for marine aquariums (in particular reef tanks).
For slightly more depth either the Marine White (all 14000k) or Reef White (3 14k, 2 blue), would be a good choice from 12-20 inches. For yet more depth the Reef White combined with the Marine Blue (3 blue & 2 14K) might be a good combination choice.
Please note that this is a generalization, that does not consider other lights you might already have, (such as 10,000K T5s which might require the all blue Reef Blue LED as a compliment).
* Also consider the use of the 1000 Ultra LED Reef White for tanks with extremely high focused light needs (for 'light sensitive specimens'), due to the type of focused emitter and sheer volume of HO emitters in a smaller footprint (this is still TMC most intense fixture for reef use).
For tanks 22-30" in depth, the use of 1 Reef White 1000 Ultra to 1 Ocean Blue NP Ultima can be employed (with specimen placement relative to overhead light)
* (Advanced Reef) As an example, a 125 gallon set up as a advanced Reef tank, you may want to consider a combination of (3) #600 Lights strips (such as Marine Blue and Reef White) with even three more AquaBeam Ultra 1000 for light "hot spots" (especially for aquariums over 24 inches deep).
The Reef Blue #600s can penetrate well to 24-30" and be added to any deeper tank mix along with 10K to 14K overall lighting so as to produce an approximate 20K overall light color temperature.
The one difference I would note between the Reef & a High Light Planted Aquarium is if you are duplicating an Amazon River environment (Angels, Discus, Tetras, etc.) to consider that this habitat has many shaded areas and many Amazon fish prefer tanks that duplicate this.
Depth penetration is not quite as much an issue with freshwater aquariums, especially for freshwater tanks containing fish & plants from normally turbid or high tannin water.
The picture above shows a 45 gallon cube planted freshwater aquarium with two TMC GroBeam 600 LEDs.
Supplemental Lighting; You can also add these LED Lights to existing lighting systems, as they can compliment T2s, T5s and CFLs, as well as Metal Halide for deeper aquariums.
Use a controller to dim off/on or use as a moon light, especially in larger aquariums where multiple TMC LED lights are utilized. Consider running 1-2 of the lights off of this electronic/programmable controller and placing the rest on separate basic controllers that can be purchased anywhere to turn on/off the remainder of the LED lights (such as ½ to one hour after dimming on or ½ to one hour prior to dimming off)
*If a household timer is used, make sure to use ONLY a grounded (3 prong) timer
Important Care
Make sure (as with any light fixture) to provide both cross ventilation, not just a cut out in the back of a canopy (as should be done with ANY LED lighting system) & to wipe your fixture regularly to prevent moisture/humidity damage to circuitry that controls the emitters.
The newer 600/500 models are now easier to clean to prevent moisture damage.
International Information

* EXCLUSIVE EMITTERS
TMC AquaRays latest offering now includes the LATEST generation of PROPRIETARY Osram Olson NP & Cree XR-E, XP-E, XP-G, XT-E, XB-D, & ML-E Power High Performance LED Emitters; which are among the best emitters available for Aquarium LED Lights.
It is noteworthy that generally an AquaRay PURCHASED TODAY has an UPDATED version of the emitter used in the same model a year earlier.
These Cree Emitters should NOT be confused with "over the counter" Cree emitters sold for other lighting applications or fixtures such as E.Shine (Stark), as those do not produce the same optimum Spectrum of Light energy required for delicate marine and freshwater inhabitants and plants.
These emitter bins are NOT available to the general public OR even other LED Manufacturers.
The Proprietary Patented Cree & Osram Olson emitters developed for these specific applications have the highest PAR, PUR, Lumens per Watt, & Focused Lumens of any other LED emitter. These easily out produce most popular HO/VHO T5 & CFL lights when compared apples to apples with much less wasted light energy in the mostly useless yellow/green spectrum & more.
*For this reason an AquaRay LED may seem less bright than some HO T5 lights with the naked eye, the actual output of light energy in spectrums we cannot see is much higher!
*The latest technology LED Light Systems we sell require as little as 14% of the wattage for the same useful energy output as a traditional T8/T12 light.
When the outdated "watts per gallon rule" for planted/reef aquariums (@ 4 watts per gallon) is applied to a TMC GroBeam (as an example), this can come out to requiring only .6 watt per gallon for the high PUR TMC LED Lights (.8 watt per gallon for advanced reefs).
See Aquarium Lighting; Useful Light Energy
Studies/Test in plant growth has shown a 12 Watt 6500K Full spectrum/daylight LED Surpassing a similar 175 Watt 6500K Full spectrum Metal Halide!!
See this article for further explanation: Aquarium Lighting Facts & Information
Features
Up to 50,000 hour lamp life (equivalent to 6x fluorescent lighting) with no significant deterioration of spectral quality (unlike ALL fluorescents).
Along with AquaRay LED emitter bin specifications which are the cutting edge in aquarium lighting; AquaRay uses pulse width modulation (PWM) to control their LED lighting as opposed to using current reduction used by many competing brands of LED Fixtures.
This is important as PWM is effectively turning the LEDs on and off very quickly (faster than the eye can see) so there is no change to the spectral output. Currently there is not a more powerful emitter along with more precise driver circuitry, producing more useful light energy per watt!
These bin specifications include very specific 465-485nm, More Focused ML-E blue emitters for which the highest PUR/PAR is found.
As well TMC now has the unlensed Cree XT-E Fiji Blue, 420-465nm.
With either blue emitter, there are no dangerous UV-B or lower wave lengths are emitted as with many MH Lights.
See the PAR section in this article: Aquarium Lighting; PAR
With modern emitter & driver technology, very exacting nanometer spikes can be obtained with the Aqua Ray LEDs; Although the patents held by CREE/TMC are guarded as to many specifics, the general wave length NM spikes are in the 420-485, 670-720 nanometer wavelengths, depending upon the emitter used.
The spectrograph/picture to the left demonstrates these emitters.
Over 135 lumens/watt per emitter (although lumens are not as important gauge of light quality as PUR)
Patented Wide Angle Beam, resulting in less light energy loss.
Low voltage and cool running utilizing large heat sinks, with the lowest running costs and carbon footprint of any lighting system available.
The AquaRay LEDs have the Highest useable output of light per energy consumed, in part due to high PAR, PUR, LUX & Focused Illumination. Making these LEDs suitable for all freshwater & marine set ups including reef tanks incorporating LPS and SPS hard corals.
Unique Shimmer Effect
Fully Dimable, such as an slow dim of an hour on or off when using the AquaRay Controllers (sold separately, but NOT necessary for use of lights). Standard household timers can be used for simple on/off cycles.
Less expensive than T5 Lights when compared to the equivalent light energy of (2) T5 18 Watt Lights & fixtures including; electrical usage, initial cost, T5 annual lamp replacement over the 5 year life of a 12 watt AquaRay LED light fixture; the AquaRay costs $178.28 vs. $318.85 for the T5
This comparison can also be made 30 watt GroBeam/AquaBeam 1000 & 1500 to a Metal Halide of about 250/175 watts for which the electrical usage difference would be more than double the above figure and when you add in a chiller that may no longer be needed, the savings add to even more!
The Aqua Ray lights can be paired with T2 Fluorescent lights, T5s or with SHO Lights for larger tanks.
The Aqua Ray can be used all by itself, however the above suggestions allow for a less costly application and as well allow for mixing of different lighting types benefits.
AquaRay Solid State LED Lights have so many advantages over traditional Marine Reef & Freshwater lighting systems and can be used on all types of aquarium setups, from freshwater to reef tanks. Unlike fluorescent lamps, AquaRay lighting delivers a directed, or "focused" source of light, and the passage of this light through water is comparable with what would be seen in nature under direct sunlight. In other words, visible beams of light will pierce the water and reflect the movement of the water surface, producing a more natural and eye-catching shimmer effect in the aquarium itself.
Warranty for 5 years on lamp/emitter unit (which generally is with the NEWEST version of the fixture) and 1 year on the power supply
All AquaRay LEDs are Complete WITHPower Supply, Mounting Brackets, etc.
Additional power supplies, even controllers are NOT required for operation (controllers are for additional features)
All AquaRay LEDs include approximately 9-10 feet of cord from the power supply, plus 18" from the ballast to plug for ease/safety of connection.
By plugging these into a Power Controller with a Storm Feature (NOT included), 1-8 "plugs" can be eliminated (See the Controller Section)
The picture to the left is a composite with the first being a demo 48 inch long Marine Tank (the lights were placed directly on the top for ease of picture taking, not mounted, so light spread is poor) with the AquaBeam 500 & 1000 Reef White, GroBeam 1000, and 1500 XG 9000K
