malawian Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 so i would LOVE to switch to LEDs for my biocube. I need to keep the cover so I cant do MHs and lets face it LED is the way to go. 24 LEDs is going to put me over my budget. I have about $200 to upgrade my lights. 18 LEDs would keep me under budget but I dont know if there will be dark spots in my tank. I only want to keep LPS and softies, no SPS, clams etc. so I dont need a whole ton of light. I just want to get the good color/growth out of my softies. THANKS! Link to comment
gojk Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 18 will be fine in a bc29. You might have slight banding, but I bet you would hardly notice. Worse case, add the next 6 later if you fine that 18 isn't enough. If you you only do 18, do 12 rb and 6 nw. Link to comment
msujeff Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 For an extra $100 you can do the 3.6 LED retro kit. Another option could be adding the 3.36 or the 4.36 kit and switching to the PC-R bulbs? This may be good if you're only planning on lps and softies. Link to comment
