Affordable LED's
What is a good affordable LED fixture for a 20g Long (30"x12"x12")? I am looking at some cree's but wants some options. I have LPS and Zoa's.

It may be the greatest light on the planet but the 10 minutes they put into designing the legs...that has to be the single ugliest thing I have ever seen as a light stand.

Buy 2 10" Reefbars from 21 LED. I bought mine on Ebay. Excellent LEDs.

I would go with a DIY kit from Rapid LED or Aqua Style Online.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/281562860235...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Just after plugging them in I've noticed sooooo much more color. Really the LEDs do a great job of lighting up your coral. For $275 I got two lights with built in timers and dimmers and hanging kits. They also come with remote controls. They're actually quite nice, especially for the price. I would recommend them but can't say how well corals will grow in the future. My trial with them started yesterday and the initial visual inspection shows much more color pop. |

my 20g long is lit up with 2 of the Reefbreeders Nano-lites, i used the hanging kits as the plastic mounts wouldn't fit and are quite ugly.
