    Default LED Lighting

    I have put in motion the change to LED Lighting over my tank. I have been researching this for a while and have talked to others that have done it.

    I am going with 3 set of 24 (12white, 14Blue) LEDs. I may also add some smaller clusters in-between these set depending on how things look.

    This will start happening with one set at one end to test things. I am going to start this project when I get my tax money back.

    I will be going from 1200Watts of lighting down to less than 250Watts of Light.

    My LED test over my macro algae has worked out well. I have 7Watts of LED light growing macro algae just as good as any other light I have used.

    I will post updates once this starts until it is finished.
