Lighting a 300g with LED only. How many led?

[livingseas]

I'm building a 72x36x27h (300 gallons). I want to keep SPS and LPS
corals. I'd like to go all LED for the energy savings as well as the longevity.

I've read a ton of LED topics here but I havent been able to figure
our how much I should buy. 2,3,4 120w? more? Thoughts? I'm looking at a bunch of different vendors so I'd prefer the answer to not be vendor specific.

I assume I shold get 90 or 120 degree optics given the depth of the tank?

Thanks,
Mike

the possibilities are so endless that you have to be vendor specific or your question can't be properly answered .
you will need a dozen AI SOLs and at least eight radions to start for the support of lps corals

I run 10 AI's on a 500g sps reef with them running at 50% 10" above the water line.

I have an SPS dominant 300 gallon Marineland DD tank the same dimensions as yours, and I light mine with six Ecotech Radion LED units. Vid shot a couple days ago.

Hi, I'm considering getting the marineland 300 DD. Do you have the marineland stand and canopy? If so, how did you mount the lights in the canopy since its only like 8" high? Also wondering about the height of the stand, seems like most skimmers won't fit under the tank.

Thanks
