Default LED reccomendations for Aquapod 12
Planning on trying out one of the Aquarays that JL has on special...

Any other suggestions?

Looking to improve on the 70w HQI sunpod on there now.

I put Two Reef Brite 15" strips in mine and the fit very nicely in the hood (there is even room for another one)

You could take a look at DIY or at nanotuners to see what they carry for that model.

To clarify...
I dont have a hood, this is the old HQI version with the sunpod and glass top.

So I am looking for an actual fixture here and not a DIY or multiple components.

I would really appreciate a pic of your nano under the reefbrites though...


thanks very kindly for all the input so far canreef, keep it coming please.

I would maybe suggest one of the PAR 38 type bulbs that Oceanic Corals carries. Apparently they just fit into a regular light bulb socket so you would have an immense amount of freedom to find a nice looking commercial pendant to put them in.

I think the Aquaray would have better par for having the better cree leds?

am I thinking wrong?

Thats definitely a good thought...

If you're looking for a fixture...you might want to look at this one. Hybrid T5HO and LED
