Need led's

[reef dummy]

Anybody have some led's laying around for a 14 biocube? The led's over my cousins tank are spotlighting bad and we need something with better lens' for more spread. DIY would be cool to, let me know what you got and how much.

Here's where we're at with the new build.

I have some the higher wattage panorama pro strips (2) and a power supply - the blue and red ones. I will never use them again. No white. They are like these:

Lenses focus light giving you less spread, you can always raise the fixture up higher.

just slap a 250w metal halide over it and be done.

that top probably makes a lot of condensation. are you sure the spot lighting isn't from the water building up? I had that issue using glass tops before

Thanks seth, we are looking into those. They look easy enough.

 

[sethsolomon]

Do they have good even spread of light?

Do they have good even spread of light?

as long as you don't put lenses on them yes

Thanks, think we are going this route.

when building that fixture for the biocube make sure you do 2 warm whites and 2 neutral whites and 2 cool whites for your white channel running at 1200mA. and the other channel 6 royal blue with a driver running at 1300 mA. that should give you a nice 13-16k color look during the day. also siguest getting http://www.rapidled.com/2-led-solderless-moonlight-kit/ if you dont have an apex to control it. so you can use timers and don't have to turn down the blues for moonlight every night.
