First here is my Tank info

90 gallon
48 x 18 x 24
20 gallon sump
20 gallon fuge

My lighting is a tek 2 retrofit kit 6 lights. I Also have 1 ice cap LED tube. I want to add more LEDs to add more blue to my tank...I would really like to add two more of the ICE cap tubes. or my other thought is adding some of the stunner strips so I can add blue and purple. .Will this be to much? thoughts?

First I would stay away from the STunners and IceCap, unless you want to improve your lunar look.
If your looking to make a dramatic change in lighting and appearance I would add a ReefBrite LED bar and call it a day!!
Seriously you have a nice light, great lunar. You just want to add some more blue bang and some shimmer........LED's is the only answer!

They come with a sweet aluminum bracket which allows you to swivel them!
Would be easy to mount them in the back and angle forward, actually reverse that ! LOL

I like that! Do you have the exact length for the 48" bar? I will mount this in the front and just angle it in...and have it run the same time as the two blues bulbs. @ 250ish i'm guessing 1 will be plenty

I don't actually own one. But I've heard that they look just like ATI Blue+ @ twice the par.
