Leds for salt

Anyone else got leds. I just put 2 evolution led pendants over my 120
And love em!!

I just installed LED moon lights. Does that count for anything?

y sure y not..leds are the way...so far sps is still growing.. no bleaching come by when you get time to check it out!! love the new site!

I just made my own Led setup out ove 7 cree xpg cooling white and 3 cree xpe blue . over my 10 galon nano and it works great i can keep most hard corals !!!

Yeah, I got 89 watts of led on my jbj nano and I love em and so do the sps corals. What I really like is the different ways you can work them. On mine I have it setup to have two one watt moonlights at night then going into four corner blue three watt leds for dawn-dusk then into the main daylights an hour later and at night the mains go off first and the dawn-dusk are on another hour then into the moon light again. One great thing about leds is you get the same shimmer effect you get from metal halides without the energy costs and heat. The leds do not produce hardly any heat.

Yeah the shimmer effect is great on my led moon lights

Im going to add 150 5mm led lights to see if I can get some shimmer effect with my T5's

i dont miss my mh at all!!

I've got a 14k Evolution LED over my 29g. Love it. I've got a red monti in there that didn't bleach through a small cycle so that's a good thing!

I'm ordering another 24w LED strip to do some dusk/dawn with and a 5w moon light.

Donnie, do you think 5w will be too much for moon lights? You mention you're running 2...

I have two 1 watt led moonglo and they are bright, they don't seem to bother the inhabitants but they light up the whole room, one day I am gonna take the glass cover off the leds and put a piece of black tape over one of them, my Wife says its a bright nightlite for the whole house. But remember all leds aint created equal so the ones you are getting may not be that brite, if they are to brite you can always cover them with something to dim them, several layers of clear tape perhaps.

I have 4 x 2 watt moonlight leds on my 75 and it is plenty bright. I would rather have 2 x 2 watt or 2 x 1 watt. I don't really like the whole tank lit up at night but it looks good and it doesn't bother the corals at all.

didnt u just buy MH's to put in there dan??? last time i was at your house you were installing them... u already junked them and went to LED's??? lol.... damn must be nice.

lol yes ..jason ended up with my pendants. the leds take up less room and i wont have to run fans on em. so i bit thebullet and bought em.. same one matt bought but i got the 20k fixtures and love em!!! now i am debating on putting leds over jason 120 i bought off of him

I'm going to put this LED over all of my tanks. It just looks so good... Less electricity, no bulb changes, grows SPS, why use anything else?

I agree!

You guys got wantin some LEDs. Been thinking about them for quiet some time now.

If you order the Evolution LEDs let me know if you don't mind. The guy I ordered from is giving me free frags for running orders through him.

i have LED aqaurium light for my tank,it has 200w,have 900par,make my reef and coral grow well and look very beautiful

alright guys i am having a algee problem and it has to be due to leds only started when i put them on, need help??? i have (2) apollo led pendants each are 209 watts apeice. the light fixture is (72) 3 watts epie leds with (48) - daylight 14,000k white and (24) - blues 460nm now i have a couple questions for everyone running leds?

1) what are you light schedules? start to finish
2) what light index for whites and blues?
3) what hight you have your fixtures from the water?
4) what fixture and specs?


This is my fixture and as you can see it has six pods with 12 leds per pod the two pods in the middle of both fixtures are all whites should i cover the center whites to eliminate to much day light? just an idea.
