LED lighting question

I have a 12 gallon eclipse tank

I need more lighting for my daytime lights.

Any suggestions that would work with my hood?


Also I was considering getting something like this for night time light.

Wide 8 blue LED Bar Background Aquarium Lighting &Power - (eBay item 110164113823 end time Sep-03-07 20:56:32 PDT)

Is this a good idea?

Thanks!

Re: LED lighting question

That light bar is a really to much light for a lunar cycle.As a daylight it won't do anything for corals.

Re: LED lighting question

If you want to use it as lunar lights than that should be good.
