DIY LED
I know that this has been discussed few times already, but can't find it anymore. I am planning to build LED lights for my new tank to be used instead of T5 or PC lights. It will be in addition to 3X 250w MH. My question is how to calculate how many LEDs needed to cover a 72" tank. I am thinking to go with 2 (48in.x 1.1ìn) heat sinks with 24 RB Leds on each heat sink, all are dimmable and with 40 or 60 deg reflectors. what do you guys think, is this enough or should I go with 72in heat sinks and 36 LEDs on each. Thanks.
