    How much is too much for 30" long 20g tank? Where should I start LED wise, I already have my eyes set on ordering from rapid led. But what should I look into getting led count/type. A general guideline or rule of thumb is what I have been looking for.



    Thanks,
    Raw.

    If you are looking to do an order through Rapid, I would suggest you start looking at the premium 24 LED kit.

    I just finished putting together my AquaStyle 24 LED kit and it is really nice. It is going over a 20L AIO tank.

    And Rapid is great as far as customer service. Just e-mail and you will get a quick response. Just tell him what you are looking to house (FO, FOWLR, Mixed, etc) and they will assist in picking led colors!
