What kind of light do you use for your plant sump? Do you think I should get a lesser lumen if I don't have plants in my tank?
Its up to you I didn't even have plants in mine at first I just wanted to make a light that looked cool. and I wanted to see if my lights could grow plants and they could
For my sump I just have a cheap fluorescent with a plant/aquarium bulb I got from Walmart

Thank you, I said I had $40 into them earlier but I don't know what I was thinking that's way off. I probably have like 100 into them. I'm trying to find you some quality lights at a cheap price so hopefully I'll have some links posted for you by this afternoon so you can order them.

Right around 6500 most of that is from the 50w I have on the right side. I'm just trying to figure out what would be best for your tank since its a lot longer than mine and you want the light even throughout the tank and not to be spotty. That's why I like to use the higher powered lights rather than a bunch of little ones.

Hey Trick,
Just wondering, would it be easier if I just use my current light fixtures? I have of 4 36" florescent fixtures.

Are you talking about not doing the LEDs or are you saying use those fixtures and put the LEDs in there
