    I am having a tough time deciding if I should go ahead and do the diy I was planning (36 Ultra Premium LED DIY Kit with Dimmable Drivers) or this new boostled Mu Series 100 LED Fixture. The price is so close that it isn't really a factor. This will be going over a 54g corner tank so I don't need to cover much area just a deep tank. Just would appreciate some opinions since I don't get to buy lights very often. Will be mostly LPS with a few SPS sprinkled in.

    DiY will be dimmable, but won't have uv available (haven't found much info on uv light and coral)

    The Mu 100 series is quite small and i don't know if it would be enough to spread and light a 54 g even if it was a cube or corner, Hopefully BoostLED will answer that for you.. or someone correct me if i was wrong.

    Good luck
