Nice Mike! Good start. Let me know if you have any questions.

If only RT6 knew about LEDs I would say let's engage on this one but I don't know squat.

 

[gmoney243]

No questions so far was more thinking u guys probly have some tip u learned or something but far as I know should be pretty straightforward just plug all the right cords together.

Where are you getting the LED's from ??

 

[gmoney243]

Aquastyle

 

[gmoney243]

Went with aquastyle because obvious price is killer but across several fish forums including clay boah which they are a sponsor of. They had lots of good reviews and also I will get the par meter so we can see if these are worth it for others to be able to affors leds without having to spend a lot.

 

[Dowtish]

Wow those are cheap. How many are you putting on your setup?

Make sure and take lots of pics.

90 leds for less than $300...you can't beat that!

 

[gmoney243]

Yea for price for sure lets wait for some par readings lol. But lots of posts from ppl claim those leds are growing and coloring corals nicely so well see.
