LEDS on my 24gallon nano

Looking to switch from my sunpod 150w hqi fixture to a LED setup. Please give any recommendations for brand, wattage, and size of the LED setup I should shop for. I look to do mainly SPS tank, thanks

Well the first thing that you need to decide is if you want to DIY. I did it with no DIY experience and it was a lot of fun and really not that hard. I would look on rapid LED.. they sell solderless kits (if you don't feel comfortable soldering and everything you need including guides of how to set everything up). You will certainly save some money and all you need to do is wire up a few things correctly and some quick gluing. This way you can also rearrange it to have whatever color combination you want. I would look at the DIY forum on here and you can find plenty of theads and builds about how and what to build for your system. Also try the search function. You can find a lot of good info! Just take a look! For a 24 g system i'd recommend 18-24 Cree LED's.
