Edwartyl Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I am in the process of buying all the equipment i need to set up my coralife 29g biocube and i am looking at this http://www.rapidled.com/12-led-plug-n-play-retrofit-kit/ I am hoping this will allow me to add some sps and lps to the tank and i am hoping this will fit in the hood with the stock pcs. I am need help choosing the lenses i don't really know how to properly choose these for my tank. If anyone on here could help me i would appreciate it, or if anybody knows if this kit will be enough for some sps and lps in my nano and if this kit will fit? Thanks, Tyler Link to comment
malawian Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 i would go without lenses...only 12 LEDs isnt much coverage in a 29g. is that all thats lighting the tank? I have 27 over a BC29 lol. if you do get this kit, dont bother with lenses, or spend more money but get the widest lenses that will fit. 60* or 80* (your LEDs are probably 120*). Link to comment
Edwartyl Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Well i want to try and keep the stock lighting in the hood and just add these LEDs but idk if they will fit. Link to comment
malawian Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 idk either, dont really know anything about the kit. but i would go without lenses for sure...if you really want get some 60*s but you dont need it. Link to comment
Edwartyl Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Ok thanks for the help Link to comment
smiz Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I just did a retro on my 29. I would take out the stock lightin to make more room for leds. I would also not do lens on it. I have only 12 LEDs over my cube and my sps and all corals are loving it. Link to comment
Edwartyl Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thank you for the help, i was originally going to do that but wasn't sure if it would be enough for some sps and lps. Link to comment
