![]() ![]() The Ecoxotic LED arm’s main strength is its design. I have thus decided to go that route and have ordered two more LED strips which will boost it to 27 watts of light. At the start of Nano I, I mentioned that it will be a low-tech aquascape, however, a high-tech aquascape will do all the equipment better justice. Some aquarists have gone even further and have proven that it is possible to squeeze another 2 strips at the edges for a grand total of 5 strips or 45 watts of light. ![]() Ecoxotic smartly engineered the LED arm to have space for another 2 strips, allowing a total of 27 watts of light. The LED arm comes with one LED strip, and every LED strip is 9 watts of light. With a photoperiod of 8 hours a day, that works out to slightly more than 17 years! ![]() The LEDs found in the Ecoxotic are of good quality, able to output optimal lighting intensity for 50,000 hours. This has created quite a fair deal of discontentment with aquarists who have used these inferior products, as they expect LEDs to last the usual 50,000 hours and not to lose lighting intensity after 500 hours. LED arms for such nano tanks exist, but as LEDs are still not as cheap to produce as the common fluorescent light, some companies have decided to use vastly inferior LEDs in order to price their products cheaply. The Ecoxotic LED arm is for aquariums that are around 30cm in size. Total Watts: 9 watts, will be increased to 27 watts. Approx Measurements: 10 inches long | 3 inches wide | 4.5 inches tall ![]()
