Help on deciding what LED's to get.

[Sw1tchG3ar]

The amount of LED's that are on the Internet is insane. My question is what LED's would be good for me to use on my 20g for all corals including sps corals? Anyone have some that are just amazing? Current USA orbit marine, marine land, so many to choose need some advice and some experience with lighting please. Thanks all

Do you have a budget?

 

[Sw1tchG3ar]

Well in a sense yes. I would like a solid light that's not going to take my unborn child to obtain if you get what I mean? Lol some good options on a moderate budget would be preferable.

I have nanobox leds on my 21 and love them.

What are the dimensions of your 20g? What is your actual budget...monetarily?

 

[Sw1tchG3ar]

Dimensions are 13" deep by 24" long by 11" wide (not including the filtration compartment in the back, AIO tank)

 

[Sw1tchG3ar]

Budget is let's say for right at this moment 200 tops

I use AURORA Timer-165w LED LIGHT for my 20 gal tank. Works pretty good. Cost me $133.love it.

I would take a look at build my led or ocean revive with a budget that size

How technically inclined are you? For $200 you could build a sweet and very reliable DIY LED for that tank... search the web, there are probably a couple dozen sites that sell the stuff, and lots of advice. You can even get systems that don't require any soldering skill.... Then you can add on advanced controllers and whatnot as your budget allows.

I have been using a few of their fixtures (the early S026 version) for over a couple of years now and they are really well made. And if you ever have questions for them, they have a sponsor forum here on RC!

I would just toss a $75 eBay box up there and be done. I am now running the AquaStar units off eBay myself (after ditching reef breeders).
