    I was looking on eBay last night and found some 12 by 12 inch led panels for aquarium use. These panels have 225 leds each rated at .06 watts. This is about 14 Watts total, full spectrum / 6000-7000K.
    Has anyone used LEDs for lighting their refugium? Are these panels of any benefit?

    I have a 65 watt 10000K and 18 watt 65000K PCs setup right now and would like to reduce the amount of heat transferred to my refugium. I have to light it from the front and back as my filter system is on top and chiller on the side.
