Default 20g diy led lens

i'm ordering my diy stuff now and im going with 29g biocube from modular led. i have a 20g and cant decide whether to use leds i was thinking 60 on inside and 40 on outside.
foot print is 24 x 15 and 16 high. these are approx. also they will sit about 6 inch above.
hoping grizz gives his opinion. being famous and all.

FAMOUS & ALL??

Anyways......a buddy of mine did a DIY on his nano & used no lenses, it looked great. I don't think lenses would be needed because of the size of your tank.

For what it's worth I just completed a DIY LED upgrade inside my stock hood of my aquapod 12. Sixteen 3W emitters, blue and white and did not use the included optic lenses. For $105 including shipping it was the best upgrade yet. Emiters, two drivers, potentiometers, writing, heatsink, hanging kit etc. aquastyleonline.com
