Mid to low light, most zoas look better with a ton of blue spectrum light too. If you told what kind of tank the light was going over we could give you a better idea.

I have a 28 nano cube pc and I gutted the hood and put in 2 fluval marine and sea led's, but I'm only getting a watt a gallon. I was thinking of adding 4 strip light led's. Two are white, one is purple, and one is actinct blue. It's a 4 pack I found on ebay. I was wondering if if you guys thought that would be a good idea?

The par of those .25 watt leds tends to not be the best. Id look into alternatives like the wavepoint fixtures, they seemed to be the best deal when i bought mine. Also the whole watts/gallon shit is just that imo. The lighting should be based off wattage per square unit of sand bed and also the depth of the tank so you get even spread etc.

you could jury rig like 4 of these into your tank, that would be good lighting for that tank.

rapid led has some 28 nanocube retrofit sets for as low as 180, pretty good price imo
