ReefBreeders Meridian 35 Edge Bar Bundle

ReefBreeders Meridian 35 Edge Bar BundleThe Meridian 35 paired with two Edge 35 bars, shipped as one complete assembly. Every bracket, cable, and the correctly sized power supply are included, so the whole system runs off a single outlet with nothing left to source separately.In the boxBundle componentsMeridian 35Light onlyEdge 35 Barx2, spectrum of choiceEdge Articulating Mountsx2Daisy Chain CableFor 2 Edge barsPower Supply450 wattsWhat you notice firstMost people see it before they measure anything. The tank looks clearer, almost as if it has shifted into high definition. Coral edges become more defined, natural textures become visible, and the reef looks sharper from every viewing angle rather than only from straight on. That clarity is the whole reason the Meridian exists: the strongest growth, the strongest color, and the cleanest overall look modern lighting can offer.What the corals doCoral results are often dramatic. Colonies grow faster. Long-term slow growers begin putting on new tissue. Frags heal faster. Corals produce colors their keepers had never seen under previous lighting. Growers running the Meridian have reported major improvements within three months, often including completely new growth patterns and color expression.The spectrum behind itThe Meridian delivers an extended violet range running from 400nm through 440nm, including true 440nm indigo LEDs. Those wavelengths are rarely included in aquarium lighting, and they are the ones tied to rapid tissue recovery, strong color development, and steady growth that limited-spectrum fixtures struggle to match. The scan below shows exactly where that energy sits.Measured spectral outputSpectrum tuned for coral growth and colorationNo wasted energy. A wider violet and near-UV range than most reef lighting, including true 440nm indigo. High CRI neutral and warm white LEDs provide exceptional color renditioning.445nmpeak output400440nm0255075100400450500550600650700Wavelength (nm)Relative intensity (% of peak)Peak445nmViolet range400440nmSpectral scan of the Meridian (Original Layout) with all channels equal.What the two Edge bars addEach Edge bar adds up to six inches of coverage. They mount on the Meridian’s front and rear tracks using the included Edge Articulating Mounts, so each bar can be angled in toward the rockwork or out toward the glass rather than sitting fixed.That puts light on corals from more than one angle, which is what the Edge bars were built to do: healthier, more evenly developed growth instead of light arriving from directly overhead only. The Ocular Holo Matrix optics focus that output rather than scattering it, with enough intensity to reach into tanks thirty inches deep or more.Choosing your configurationTwo choices at checkout: the Meridian’s LED layout, and the spectrum for the Edge bars. Both bars ship in the spectrum you pick, which makes six configurations in total.
