LED light help

Hello I want to transition my aquarium to LEDs and grow coral but I don't know what kind to buy I want to have a variety of different corals maybe SPS but for sure LPS and zoas. Are ecoxotic stunner lights lights any good my aquarium is 20 gallons and 24 inches long and 12 inches tall. What light should I buy?

 

stunners wont do anything aside from color accenting. If you want growth these are a few I like
AI SOL
Panorama Pro Modules
Radions

Since your tank is 20g

A couple of panorama pro modules or an AI SOL would be perfect, I have one AI SOL on my 24x24 cube and its outstanding
just my opinion

 

AI Nano, Kessil a150/350, ecoxotic panorama LED's, etc. IMO AI Sols and Radions are overkill for a 20 gallon.

 

is that new taotronics/chinese 120w dimmable way too much??

 

I can't speak for the 120w fixture, but the 212w version easily covers 2-2.5 feet of tank with super intense light. Im very happy with mine, especially for the price.

 

Any pics?

 

Thanks everyone for the help. How are the true lumen pro LEDs? If I get those how many would I need I saw an incredible 20 gallon with only one and it even had huge montiporas and favites growing in it.

 

I can't remember what forum ot was but a lot of people were bashing LED's from the same company. I don't know anything about them nor have I used them.

 

LEDs aren't that bad. I'm currently rigging up the LEDs I got from Steve's LEDs for my 55. I find that you have to look for more instruction across the web though the instructions you DL don't really follow a format so you have information scattered that pertains to certain things rather than having it all under DRIVERS or FAN INSTALL or WIRING. Anyway, if it's a standard 20L and you want to keep SPS make sure your filtration is great (Protein Skimmer) LR, SUMP maybe and FLOW you're going to need plenty of that to keep SPS happy. A 20 isn't too deep so you should be able to get something pretty cheap. You can order from Steve or Rapid and that should work for you. I am a member of another forum where another reef keeper ran LEDs on a 55 with all SORT of difficult coral. It looked great and the corals did very well.

 

If you can solder,a DIY kit from Rapid would be a great option. I would also look at the boost LED MU100 series.
