Also, what about those full spectrum LEDs? Worth the extra money or no?

IMO, no. Doesn't help the corals grow. Actually been proven to stunt growth (red LEDs). And ppl want to add UV. UV is just as bad for corals as it is to us. Anyone who's ever swam in the ocean knows light doesn't make it to the bottom... Lol. I'd stick with the blue and whites. There is a ton of research out there, and like I said, JMO.

While I agree that people have been doing just fine with blue and white LEDs, for some reason adding a full spectrum t-5 or MH seems to help. I don't know why, but on my next build ill have my 2 120watt 20k panels and a MH

Out of curiosity, are there smaller LEDs that I could put two of over my 20long? Just want to see if there is a Chinese one people know of. I am having great growth with my 1:1 ratio 120w, but I feel like having say two 70w ones would be great, if they exist

I believe Ambrosio is selling a 75 watt panel. Look in his sponsor area.

Hmm I may have to take a look at those and put it on my WTB list if I decide to go that route
