LED reccomendations for Aquapod 12

[gobytron]

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

cool unit for sure but for a 12 gallon, I prefer all LED to eliminate any heat/evap.

This is the ONLY reason I want to try something other than the tried, tested and true 70W sunpod I have on there now.

Have you thought about looking at fish-street for the Key LED or Maxspect LED systems. There are few Key LED owners on Canreef and I haven't heard any bad things. they are very cost effective...maybe more than the Aquaray stuff.

i did...
i honestly find their website a little tricky to navigate though...lol

It really does seem to be btween the fishstreet fixtures or the aquaray (which is 15% off at JL right now).

thanks for anoter good suggestion.

any others?
