That'll give you a good start! Good find. If you have the cash to spring for a third one, I'd do it and space them over every 2ft of your tank.

It shouldn't be a problem. That's how I have my 180 (3 fixtures) and no shadow areas.

You will want more blue then white. You cab also pick you color combo in the comments section while ordering, so you do not need to select a specific one in that drop down.
I have ordered a lot from these guys, great service and products.

Sounds like a plan. 12 and 6 with 2 UV. While you are ordering, grab up a set of their moonlights. I just completed a group buy on them on another site and everyone loves them. Grab up their 15 module moob light for a tank your size. A 12 module might work, but don't go less then 12 modules.

ok first off and please dont think im trying to be rude. None of those lights are going to do anything for your tank. You might have to go the traditional halide/t5 setup.
I was looking at a website fish need it;lights; food;Sponge they are running a 50% off special. I just did some math you can get 2 of their 4 ft t5 fixtures and 2 of their 150 watt halides with bulbs and shipping for about $260.00.

No offence taken. Only why do you say that none of those lights are going to do anything? I have been using DIY aquastyleonline Bridglux 72 LED for almost 2 years now. I have grown SPS/LPS with no issues. They are by no means mh and I have had better growth and polyp extention with mh. LED's run at a small fraction of the monthly cost and last up to 7-10 years before replacing bulbs.

Does this look like a good setup, I switched to e dim able one with a controller. What else could you mount the leds to instead of the heats ink they provide its like 30 a piece and it makes shipping $90

I just built the 21led with controler this week from them. So I am a fan. It was a pretty straightforward. I'm happy to answer questions or PM you pics.

I used aluminum U channel instead of an actual heat sink. Sent you a PM with my build thread, bit it us on another site. Maybe I should post it here one day this weekend.
