I would like go all led .
Bear with me . I can get long winded sometimes.
I have a 70 cube 30 x 30 x 18 . I presently use a Lumenbrite mini wide pendant with a 250 watt dimable ballast . I keep the ballast all the way down to get blue out of a reeflux 20k bulb . I have tried EVC's 20k and have to do this . If I turn it up it goes 12 k to 14k on me . Sucks to be me. I like it blue . Tried leds for supplemental . Reefbrite's didn't work out for me .
Bottom of fixture is 10 inches from water surface and bulb is 13 inches . To the sand it's about 28 inches . Most SPS are 18 inches from bulb to bases . I have good coloration . Setosa looks correct . Pink lemonade , redplanet, jedi mt etc look true to what I have seen .
Most of the run of the mill leds are @ 119 leds . Will this work or would you wait for more funding and try a 150 + led fixture ? I would go DIY but all these Chinese and Korean fixtures compete right along the lines of DIY . Yeah I know they are not cree's . Maxspect's are nearby locally for me to .
It is the light height for spread needed to loss of par that bothers me.
Your input is appreciated.
