    I have been looking at a couple kinds of LEDs lately and need your opinions...
    1. Aqua illumination Sol
    2. I was thinking i might save money by taking my existing hood and taking all the lights out of it, and putting in some Ecoxotic Stunner strips. How many would i need?
    3. Possibly a DIY.
    Which is my best option?
    Tank is 19"x18"x17"
    Thanks!

    Stunner strips won't work in an application like that. They're intended to enhance looks only, not sustain corals.

    The panarama modules would work though.

    You should just build your own led light....they now even make plug in led strips if you don't want to wire your own... Rapidled.com is A good place to start..
