RapidLED....please help

ToolmanDan · 02/28/2012, 05:12 PM

I am thinking of running the Rapidled system on my standard 90g tank. it iis going to be mainly a fish tank with some soft corals,zoas,ricordea, that kinda stuff. I was thinking of running 2 of the 12 led systems. The problem is i have no experience with mixing the colors of the bulbs and i also have no knowledge of led systems. anyone's input would be helpful. I was also going to use2 48" atinic T-5's if I needed some more blue in the tank. Thanks again for the help.

easiest and most flexible set up with 2 x 12 led strips would be 12 cool whites on one and 12 royal blues on the other, get them dimmable and you will have an infinite amount of color combinations from 100% cool white to 100% royal blue, and everywhere in between.

if it is basically fish you may want to add a couple reds and greens..in the mix..so the colors of the fish look better..
