Grizz's 300 gal 8'er / LED Heat sink build / Opinions on LED lay out needed

Yeah it depends what you're use to for sure, overall considering the flow-rate they are very quiet. I would think these days with everyone using LEDs they'd be looking for all the heat they can get from other equipment I know I do.

That is true but in my case it's the complete opposite. The room my tank is in is actually the hottest room in the house, my chiller runs all year round & I don't think my heater has been on once since the start of this system. My temp is bang on steady at 78 degrees. That was my reasoning for going LED's as well, the MH & T5 would heat up this room even more. I have to come up with a way to vent my chiller out of this room & into the dinning room with the new system.

I think the heat issues in this room have to do with the wall of window between it & the pool room.
