I guess their HO LED POD is a 60 degree focused lens which allows for deeper light penetration With a smaller tank like mine they didn't seem to think I would have to add too many more HO Pods to make it functional I have an opportunity to purchase a 250W Halide lighting setup What should I do? LED or HALIDE? |
