even the 8K and 12K varieties? I would think that a 24W 48" 8K or 12K strip would have some degree of benefit to SPS growth...

I've currently got a 4x54 T5 HO fixture on a 55 gallon and although I have growth from my SPS, I feel like I little extra light could maybe improve the growth rates... I don't feel like getting an entirely new fixure, so was exploring what could be done by adding some LED...
