LED advice

sponger0 · 06/06/2012, 04:13 PM

How come it is so hard to get any advice on a LED DIY setup? I looked. Ive read. And so many thing people say. Do this. DO that....but none of it is consistant enough to make an educated decision.

I want red, blue and whites. Thats my personal decision to go that way...so not looking for opinions. Looking for facts.

This is one reason I have turned away from going LED. So can anyone give some real advice?

Tank will be a 90 gallon SPS dominated tank. How many LEDs would be needed. Yes I want them dimmable so dimmable drivers are a must.

Because the technology is changing so rapidly. An awesome DIY LED fixture made 1 year ago would probably be considered weak, inefficient and outdated compared to what's available now. Try looking here if you haven't already:
