Default LF: LED Lights for a Six Foot Tank

I know that there are different ones available and some are better than others.

Let me know what you have.

Thank You.

look at the Vertex Illuminas

J&L has them, and the one set up in their sore is sweet!

What are your goals? Fish only? Mixed reef? SPS only?

I would go with the AI over the Vertex at this point if you are looking for high light applications. Otherwise, the G3 Maxspects are looking quite nice to or a G2 Maxspect if you don't need really high PAR.

Do you have more money or time. You can build it yourself and get the exact color temp you want or if you are loaded just pick one up from J L

FWIW...Ken at Blue World in Edmonton is building me an LED fixture with built in dimmer switch, and once it's integrated with my profilux, will be able to auto dim via the controller. It might be worth your time to get intouch with him and quiz him up...you WILL save BIG over the other fixtures out there, and they look really good. He's had one of his LED light's set up on a tank for a couple of months now, and it, and the coral look good.

Thanks, I will look into these. Any idea of pricing for them?
