JBJ 28 LED Options

[redfishblewfish]

I have a JBJ 28 with the HQI hood and I want to convert it over to LEDs. What options do I have, and which one is the best? The three options I've found are:

JBJ LED hood at ca $379 - $400 - http://jbjnanocubes.com/contents/en-us/p10985_28-led_-_replacement-hood.html

Rapidled retro that would fit directly into the hood at a cost of $225 (non dimmable) and $255 (dimmable). http://www.rapidled.com/nanocube-24/

And finally, I found reefledlights.com, but see nothing that bolts directly into the JBJ hood.

Anyone have and opinion on what would be best?

I can't be the first! Someone has had to have done this.

I guess I'm here talking to myself! :hmm5:


As I've given this thought, I'm leaning towards building a wood hood and installing a dimmable "œChinese" fixture that cost $165"¦.Like this one. This is the most cost effective.

You could try the Ecoxotic led Panorama Module's. With a little modding, they will easily fit in your hood and have a clean look when you're all done.

I wasn't happy with the jbj hood.

Why not? Did you have the LED hood?

I dont think any of these would fit directly on, but they are retrofit kits for popular nano tanks:

Hopefully they give you some ideas.
