LED help

I'm really looking for a new LED setup for my new tank. I have the 30 x 30 x 24" cube tank. Only being 30" wide most of the 36" setups won't work. So I'm trying to find some thing that will that won't break my bank.

anyone have any ideas?

Are you willing to DIY it? It will fit and it won't break the bank.

You probably need 60 to 72. What problems are you having with the kits?

Just determining which one is the best for this and the right size. Was looking at reefledlights and guess I'll need to go with 2 kits?

Yeah I hear ya . Most state they cover 30 x 24 . I saw a 110 watt unit using 2 watt Edison star emitters due to be released soon and a 300 watt unit in development too. Should be enough punch for that tank . RC will not let me post the link.
