LED recommendations....

[lexiz1]

I have a 210 gallon tank (30"deep) and I'm looking to replace my 8x48" T-5. Im thinking 2-3 LED fixtures. I would like something programmable. What kind of LED fixtures do you suggest? How many should I go with? Where can I get them?

Thanks!

I use 6 x AI Sol Blues, I would say it's pretty good. I like the coverage and the color, but I'm a blue freak.

There are usually led groupbuys that people setup and you can get some Chinese 120w for around $110 and they are dimmable not sure how big you're tank is but for a 125 you would need 3 so maybe 4-5 ish in you're case check them out on eBay 120w dimmable reef light if you need more info let me know

Check the main used goods section. I thought I saw someone selling 6+ ai sols on there.

why LED's? you were getting good growth with your T-5's..just change bulbs for color variation. I want to switch out my MH for T-5's

Its getting expensive changing out all those bulbs each year.

+1 on the OceanRevive's. best bang for your buck IMO.

I would also agree with sticking with T5s. They give some of the best colors in SPS IMO. Bulb replacent costs are often quoted as a reason to go with LEDs, but led technology is changing so fast that people are replacing pucks, and adding spectrum each year. It's just as costly. If you want full spectrum and high end, the Mitras or hyperions/pandoras are the best. I also like the reefbreeders lights, and have one over my 60cube. It is simple and works great, no software hassles and easy programming.
