Got a little something something to get this started! Might get around to putting some water in the tank this weekend. We'll see.

Haha, it happens to everyone at some point (or many points). You won't need 4 bulbs and LEDs for LPS though. You'll be just fine with 2 bulbs and a strip of LEDs. I'm assuming you're going for blue LEDs and ATI Blue Plus bulbs (which are fairly white and high PAR) or something similar. Light demands of LPS are actually quite low considering our current lighting technology.

Thank you Mindy, you answered questions I was going to ask!

My wife goes to spin class and I go into stealth mode... hehe.
