welp, that didn't work..
I've done a bunch of research on DIY LED fixtures for reef tanks. (Alot of reading on this particular forum ( DIY LEDs - The write-up - Reef Central Online Community )) I have a 55G tank and I'm thinking about running the same setup as this guy.(About 48 LED's). According to his tests, he's getting between 100-300 par readings in his tank. I've heard that all the other lights, even cfl's, will produce more par readings than that(am I wrong on that?). I would love do try building that setup, but not if it won't be enough light. I plan on growing many corals, including many sps corals. So will this 48 LED setup be good for good coral growth/good health for everything else on my 55G? Or should I just stick to 50/50 cfl's? Also, this guy isn't running lenses on those LED's. What's a "good" par spectrum for a reef tank with soft AND hard corals? Thanks
