I've also been looking at LED for a 90 gallon I'm planning. Every option is pretty much needing at least 2 fixtures. even a 60 gallon would most likely need 2 due to the center brace. I was wondering though Coasting, you seem to have a lot of uv lights. or are they the 440 blues?

I've been reading about the pros and cons of adding reds and greens. I think I would go with the ratio you have.

Solderless DIY LEDs also look pretty good. They work out around 400 dollars per 16 inch length (based on a 30 second quick calculation inc;uding hanging) but I know 2 would let me keep LPS on my 90 gallon.

Have a look at http://rapidled.com/

And here is Canadian DIY enthusiast urujoey assembling the kit.

As of yet I'm still undecided what to do. I've seen various chinese units on ebay, alibaba express which I'm also unsure about. I'll probably end up buying 2 Pharos units from AQ LED in Vancouver because of the customization. Sunrise, remote controll etc. The price is the only offput.


Or maybe I'll just get a 4 foot 10 bulb T5 HO unit from china for 200 bucks
