New Lights

[partydiver]

I currently have the 150W mh stock light over my old jbj cube, I want to get rid of the hood entirely and was thinking on getting leds, any recommendations on lights?
I was looking at the AI nano led and think it would be a good light

All depends if you are looking for a unit or a DIY.

If it was me, I would be waiting for the new EcoTech XR15w that will be available in July.

Im thinking a unit would be best for my needs.

Any idea on price range and will you guys be carrying them?

I still have some par38s that would be a good option to replace a single MH

Personally i would never go with a brand new product till the bugs have been worked out and with led's do not cheap out the good units are more expensive because of the type and quality of the led i am running 4 sol blue modules on my 125 and have a mixed reef everything doing great and no bleaching just start low and work the power up from there my buddy has the ai nano and loves it

Agree with jeff and alot cheaper than a unit and still does the trick.... great alternative to blowing your wallet

Ive been really debating on going with 3 of these over my 75, or starting with 2.

i have a couple of chinese 14,000k lamps id part with
heres a pic over my 75g tank
i think each is equivalent to a 250w MH

This light seems interesting; http://www.aliexpress.com/item/120w-full-spectrum-programmable-led-aquarium-lighting/1869416572.html.
Im still a bit aprehensive on the random Chinese lights.

Thoughts on par38 bulbs though, how many would I need..

If something happens who do we deal with ? I'm going to stick to my light I order

One would work, two would be better.

One razor on my new cube is plenty I think

I think the Radion would be over kill for a little Cube like that, even the Chinese ones are way to powerfull, If I were you I'd go with the AI Nano or the Maxspect Razor Nano.

Its a 30x30x24

 

[EricTMah]

The 160W Razor will be perfect for that sized cube. I would think you're going to need to switch optics to the 120 degrees in order to cover 30" front to back.

My 120W razor is barely enough to cover my 24" front to back. I also hung my lights at about 10" above water line.

Im going with 16000 k is that what u have

Onyx has my attention as well. Only I would like to custom the leds in the fixture with more UV. You can do a diy of the Onyx, they offer the fixture case, the rest is easy.
