Led questions

Bruno21447 · 09/12/2011, 10:03 PM

k my tank is 6ftx2ftx30inchs. I want to go led's on it. But there is so many brands out there not sure what to go with. So for a decent price what would you guys go with? Want a controller with it. AI's I would prolly need 4 units right? the new mazzara maxspects would I also need 4, or would I need more? what other brands?
thanx for any input.

My tank is the same dimensioins. I have 6 Ai's. I think that is just about right.

if you hang em 12" or more 4 will do.tank mounted need 6. they're 399 each now.
mazarras 5 or 6.

DIY LEDs would be half that cost and you would have so many more options.

k will prolly try for AI's then. maybe wait for the pheinox to come out since they look like they will be $100 more.

Would love to go DIY but im am not great with stuff like that.I tried sodering my diy on the red sea max I got and it is a horrorable job lol.And that just one star I had to re-soder
