I was wondering about the depth myself. I think you would need 4 halides to cover your tank in full. I think the rule of thumb is that one of those...
I have not, but I also have only had SPS for a year. Honestly, I don't find the SPS tank much maintenance at all. Every two weeks I fill up my ATO...
To give you a better idea of color, here are some top down photos:

Thanks! Post #119 will show you the colors better, but not as good as the top down photos show. I must have 40 mushrooms, or more.
I am making a big change to this system. I am switching out my 250 watt metal halide for a self designed, full spectrum, Cree LED system with...
Yep. I saw that link earlier after I posted this. I actually asked a couple questions in it.
Well, my tank is predominately SPS, but those absorption rates are typical for coral and probably for most plants as well. Red appears to provide a...
With all that in mind, This is what I am looking at over my 20 gallon:
I want to share some thoughts on LED selection. In return, I would like you to bounce your thoughts off of mine and hopefully in turn, we can narrow...
I have a 20 high that I'm converting over from halide. I'm putting together a 20 diode Cree unit for about $150. There will be two dimmable strings...
My mistake. I thought you mean warm white in place if deep red.
What about this layout with 20 diodes? Edit: supposed to be warm white, not cool.
Okay. Should I cut it down to 21 or 18?
24 overkill?
NM, I figured it out. Those clusters really bring the price up a bit. For power, I need a power supply and two meanwell drivers?
Those link confused me. There were lots of links within the first.
I think I will have a 3rd row tapped, but I will leave the diodes off of it. I will expand to a 55 gallon in time, as I have already built the stand...
Enough white?
