    Going to try a LED build. Any advice is appreciated

    Well I did run the reds on the lowest setting the dimmer was capable of last night during testing and they did not dim out to my surprise. On my LEDs if my audrino controller goes past 10% they go out completely. As far as green LEDs ... It's up to cryptics. The inspiration of adding the reds...

    EcoTech Radion LED Lights....Or AI Or ??? I can't make up my mind.

    EcoTech Radion LED Lights....Or AI Or ??? I can't make up my mind.

    honestly i think you are better off going AI. each upgrade of tank size you do... basically can add a fixture. possibly for the 55gallon run ai sol blue. i believe by the time you get to the 125g you can get good coverage from an addition ai sol blue. i don't know exactly your future...

    I've been looking at the 420mm violet leds that Satis carries. Id be hesitant to go any lower than that. I've heard good things about em. From where have you heard? I cannot not find a straight forward post with proof they are indeed essential. I would be interested in finding the truth about...
