    Advice on Plant-Grow LEDs

    Hi there,

    I already have a scrubber setup on my 240 gals reef with 4 23W CFL bulbs two on each side. I want to do the same for my Clownfish breeding setup here. Now I'd like to experiment with these new Plant-Grow LEDs like these;

    I would like to have a 10 X 10 scrubber good for like 10 cubes a day or something. how many of these little guys would I need in order to light this size of screen from both sides?

    Thanks for your help guys.

    Manny

    So that would be 50ish watts right? then these little bulbs will not do the trick. Anyone that can recommend some good LED light out there?

    Look at 660nm phillips LED's on rapidled.com. You will have to build the fixture yourself but is is pretty simple and not unknown ground anymore. I would give you a build thread link but I am at work on my phone, I am sure you can find one if nobody else posts a link though.
