    I have a regular marineland 10 gallon tank. I have this light on it now it says t5 high output 220
    I'm not sure this is enough light for my bta? So I was thinking LEDs. Anyone have any ideas?

    For sure, I would Def do DIY for that size. We have some sponsors here that specialize in DIY Lighting for Led. Price is fair and they customize your light requests. Best thing to figure out before you start is what spectrums are working for what corals you want.
