    What websites offer diy leds. I might start building lights for people locally and was wondering what sites sold em. Like what's the best low end middle and top end sellers. I want to be able to offer locals leds from all ends of the spectrum

    you do know that lighting is one of the most important things you can do for you coral so its not good to go cheap, or you possibly could have lots of issues with your tank.

    But the smart way is to DIY from RAPID LEDs high quality LEDs at a great price.

    From a business stand point, using cheap parts for cheap light might not get you the good press you want. I would go all rapidLED and have a soft coral beginner light, Intermediate, and Advanced light that will give people the PAR to grow anything. This way you can have more entry level stuff and impress your customer base so that you get the repeat business.

    The LEDs I got from aqua style grow my corals better than my rapidled lights. Just saying.

    That doesn't really say much though. How many and what of each, how long, distance etc. But kinda doubting an equal Cree led system compared to an equal number aqua style would fair better! Unless of course the Cree's are bleaching the aqua style!;)

    Not saying your wrong, but of the 1 million things i've read about led's, never once have i heard aqua styles are better, i've heard a few saying equal. And I'm not knocking them at all, i've heard plenty of people that love them.
