Diy led

[ray72484]

Where is a good place to buy the LED kits to build my own lights. My tank will be anywhere from 120 to 180 gallons. I will not have a lot of corals. If I have any they will be zoas and acans. This will be mostly a FOWLR tank. I am trying to stay on a budget so any advice will help. I saw the led fixtures on eBay. Are they any good.

if you think it'll be low light do some research around aquastyleonline.com. They sell cheap kits, they're out of a china. I don't know much about them though.

Otherwise stevesleds.com (the one I used) and rapidled.com

you can get 2 of these for not much more if at all to what you would spend making your own. Great units so far..

I have a question about these. Can you do just one color at a time and how would I need if I got a 6' tank

you can get kit from Rapid led and if you decide to go with them then go with LDD drivers very easy to handle and tons of choices when it comes to channels with this route you can control each color array of led's ...

I'm in the planning stages of mine and there are stacks of threads on doing this. I have been in contact with Rapid LED and they have been very helpful so far!
