What is the color your trying to achieve? Brighter white, more blue There are several factors we need to know to address the question. The brand of LED is one of the biggest factors. I would highly recommend using Cree LED's. What size is the tank? Have you looked at companies like Unique LED lighting? They have been in the business for several years and appear to be bringing the prices way down on the prism lights. I saw their new high output light over a 180 gallon aquarium lighting the entire thing. The rep said the light would not be out until June 1st I think, but it was amazing. It was less than 1 foot in length and casted a 5 foot tank from less than 1 foot above the water. Anyway back to the point. Let me know what color your trying to get to and what your running now. Tell me the brand, color, drive current and I will try to advise.
