Lighting for JBJ 24 gallon cube

snowdude10 · 02/17/2015, 11:41 AM

Hello,
I recently acquired a 24 gallon jbj AIO and I was wondering want led's to put on it. I am leaning towards putting a few par 38's on it, because they are very budget friendly. How many of these should I put on for an sps tank. Or how many should I put on if I decide to just do softies?

Thanks

I used a Steve's LED Upgrade kit on my 28G JBJ nanoCube. Was very happy with it.

They sell upgrade kit for the 24G JBJ as well - LINK

OC PAR 36 dimmable complete reef spectrum 36 watts X 2 would = ~ 150 watt MH and they run ~ 90 each and are very bright. I think they can work on optics if you want to change but the standard 90 degrees would work well.
