Softies and some very low light LPS would be about the limit. It's only 30W of low power LEDs over a 48" length

awesome thank you for the quick response. I guess I will still build my LEDs before I add anything big. I'm doing a DIY LED that I will post later and wanted a time line on how soon I needed to do it based off how long I can use these lights and still grow my tank! Thank you again
