    Does anybody know any good pico lights, I am looking to buy LED's that will be able to grow softies/LPS and maybe a montipora or some hardy SPS. The dimensions of the tank are 8.5 x 8.5 x 8.5.
    Thanks :)

    Seems nice, I think I might need more blue.
    Another idea I had was to get the atinic supplement of Rapid LED and use the sun to give the tank a nice white/blue color. Did I mention the tank will most likely be outside? I also liked the aquatop 36 LED fixture. What's your opinion on these two options?

    I have a lamp that a Par30/38 should fit into, although that Ecoxotic lamp seems overpriced. Their Tri-color ones are the same price but larger, more powerful, and have red LED's. Thanks for the suggestions ;D
    EDIT: Here's the tank- http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/3072522415.html

    I think I'm going to get the 7 LED kit from Rapid LED. If anyone has advise please tell me.

    I would get a Boost par30 bulb or a diy quick connect kit from RapidLED (with a 2channel dimmer/controller) if you want more blue.

    I think I can change the color on the 7 LED solderless, I'm not interested in sunsets/rises with the LED's. Thank you for the suggestion. :)
