Hey guys im about to order my leds i like the kits from rapid led as they have been good to me..

I was just wondering if there is a rule of thumb as far as leds per side of screen.. does the 1w per inch of screen apply? Or what are the guide lines.. i was going to run six red 3w leds running at 700mA each per side.. the screen is 9 x 6 and the tank is a 120 fed 3 cubes a day.

I am going to upgrade mine after the new scrubber design comes out and I was going to run 6 LED's on each side of my 6x9 screen but I was going to make it easy to add three more if needed.

I would take a guess and say your plan will work just fine since I am running 6 reds and 1 blue on a 13x10 screen without problems and I feed a lot more per day, about 3x what you feed.
