Hello everybody ... time to change my light ... my diy led light (7years old) is dying ... I have a 150g cube 36x36x27 ... I do have lps, sps, clam ... not a big amount of them but enough to need a good light .... I would like led light but trying to avoid the shade of it .... any recommendation??

Take a look @ the Mitras from GHL.
One just might do it if hung high, but I would double check.

I had that tank a while back and I had a single 250 watt version of this:

I only needed one of them, I kept pretty much everything I wanted, the corners were a little darker, but that was perfect for my softies.

I'd post pics, but photobucket is a virus plague and just completely sucks nowadays...

The only thought on this is -- MH bulbs are getting harder to find, so if you go that way I would have a supply to last.

Yeah dont want to go with MH .. too much heat to deal with ... might need to go led + T5

An Orphek panel or a few of their bars would work well.
