Wondering what the appropriate amount of leds or lumens for my 7g nano cube (12x12x12) would be? I have 1w and 3w leds already that are around 80-90 lumens per watt for the white 1w, 160ish for the 3w and 50 lumens for the blue 1w. Also have 30* and 60* optics although i dont think they are needed in such a shallow tank? I plan too for now atleast keep the stock 18W power compact installed in addition to the led upgrade. Would 20 leds too much?
Want to be able to grow any kind of corals, just dont want it to be overkill.
Also as far as light spectrum would it help to add a few red, green and warm white to make a mix of colors?
