Unfortunately there's not one section that you could look for with everything you'll need, but it's easiest if you get a kit along with heatsinks and...
I'd go with about 50 LEDs or so. You're going to have to mount a heatsink or two into that fixture, so that would be my concern. If you can get it...
Dustin, 72 wouldn't be overkill on your tank. You could probably get away with less but if you plan on dimming anyways then it's not a bad idea....
Dustin, your tank is 4' long by how many feet deep (front to back)?
Hi Josh, With those dimensions I'd keep the same number of LEDs that I recommended earlier (60-75) but use 40 degree optics. With those it's really...
Hi Josh, Sure thing. Assuming your tank is 72" x 18" x 28", I'd go with between 60~75 LEDs depending on what you have inside the tank, using 40 or...
1) If you have a 40g breeder I'd go with 36 LEDs. Some people like to feel comfortable with LEDs first changing their entire tanks, but I'd say the...
At 12" I'd go with the 60's (we're out of stock for 2-3 weeks on the PAR bulbs though).
For operating temps it's best to keep the heatsink under 100F or so. A little higher is okay but you certainly don't want to be anything higher than...
I think either set-up would work, most people would go with 2 per 2' section but that's a personal choice. If you can get away with less light in...
Yeah that sounds right, I'd go with 4 to be on the safe side.
Ideally you'd want to be about a foot off the water, though a little bit higher wouldn't hurt. Our best guess is that the kelvin rating is roughly...
If you don't have a center brace then yes, that heatsink would work.
Hi, I'd go with 36. I think 48 would be way too many, unless you plan on dimming them down quite a bit. Regards, Mike
24 is too much if you're not using dimmable drivers, if you do have those drivers then you can always dim down a little bit if it's too much. If...
Sorry for the slow response. For a 54g corner tank with SPS/clams you'll need between 50-60 LEDs. What I'd go is get a 48 Ultra Premium Kit, and...
Typically people use stranded wire but I don't think there's a problem with using solid core wire.
I'd go with about 30 LEDs for a 60g cube (I'm assuming it's 24" x 24" x 24"), and if you're getting a heatsink from us I'd actually go with the 5.9"...
It depends on how high above the water the lights are but I think that would be fine.
The ELN driver maxes out at 1.3A, so for your cool white's you don't need to do anything, but under 1A is correct for the XP-E Royal Blues.
