How many Cree 3w LEDs for my ADA 60P?
Hello,
First and foremost - I am sorry for all the LED questions! It sounds like I am going back and forth but I just really want to be sure that what I have will be good. ![]() How many LEDs would you suggest? I was originally going to buy 24 but now that seems like a bit much - but maybe it's right for this setup? I am now thinking of maybe 12, 14, or even 18. I am going to keep some low light corals (mostly zoas and rics) with this, so I do need some areas with low light. Would it be a good idea to concentrate the lights together in the center a little more than usual? Would you suggest I have no optics or 80 degree optics? Anything else I need to know? Thanks! |

20 with no optics will work great

I have 36 on mine. It is overkill. 20 would be fine. No optics is good for blending but will let light flood into the room...
