DIY LED help

If I understand the math correct 60 degree lenses would give me a 34" diameter 20" from the bottom and almost a 14" diameter 8" down. So If the light is 2" above the water there is still great coverage for my size of tank. From what I have read it sounds like 60 degree optics should match 150w mh.

So given the size of my tank, without optics the colours I add for full spectrum should be ok if I put one of each in the centre of the light. I'm thinking one of each without optics: red, green, violet, and neutral white. Then cool white and blue/royal blue with 60 degree optics running down the length of the light.

Does that sound good? Do you think the 1.8" x 12" heatsink from modular led would be wide enough?

I would give yourself more room to spread out the LEDs more, it would allow you heatsink to dissipate the heat much better. If you have an old fixture housing you want to use go as big as possible & don't skimp on cooling fans to blow on the heat sinks, heat is an led killer.

Hi guys I am setting up a 20g tall nano reef and wondering if anyone has used or know about aquastyle LEDs.

Heard of them but never really look that hard at them.

I've been looking into them allot and have noticed some good reviews. However I would like to know the type of custom price friendly LEDs most reefers are building. Please help. Thank u.
