Default LED DIY

This is my new setup trying some LED.
Will see if a anemone can live under it.

Are those your own LED strips or are they the stunners by any chance?

Those look like SMD LED strips. If so then you will have almost no PAR and will not be able to keep anything other then the low light softies and LPS under them. You need high power LEDs (1 watt of higher) to actually put out a decent amount of PAR to sustain photosynthetic organisms.
