led lighting

[vander45]

i was thinking of getting the marineland reef led's. has anyone used them. i am looking at putting it on my 20 gal tank. do they work good?

 

[DJ]

i just put it on my 20g tank a week ago i love it but i might get another one as it doesnt light up my whole tank as well as it does the parts it lights up, the up side is its energy efficient so i can run 2 and not worry about hydro lol. My buddy is running it on his 24g nano and he loves it as do his corals so thats what pushed me to buy it. hope that helps ya out

 

[vander45]

great dj thanks. are you running the 18-24 or the 24-36.

I have one of the 18" - 24" marineland led and I love it...I believe DJ is talking about my tank...I've got some pics on the members tanks part of the forum if you'd like to take a look...what size tank do you have?

 

[Jenn]

I was thinking of ordering one of those kits from Rapid LED.. Some good youtube videos with people who have used the CREE leds.
The marine land "reef" led is pretty pricey and im scared one fixture wont put out enough light for my 90gal. 

I was thinking of getting a single bright and do FOWLR for a while.  Any reviews on the single or double bright?

Just using one for a little 10 gallon thats holding me over from the itch to set up another big tank , I had a 75 gal for a few years I had ot get rid of so now Im on the hunt for a 60 or up cube .

Does anyone have LEDs on a 100g +?
I am building a 135g display with a 20g frag and 35g sump
I want LEDs for the power savings and less heat
I would like to know what others have and the stories behind the tanks

Thanks

Currently i'm using the marineland reef led and put it on my 20 g water tank and it's lighting spread through out the water tanks.

whats the PAR output on these lights? Im sure they work for a FOWLR, but id never put them over a SPS or LPS tank.

I  use 9 Par38 LED bulbs on my 100 Gallon long.  Very little heat, almost 2 years now.  I don't care much about the controlling of colors or sunrise sunset etc.  I like them.
