Need help on lighting options

Thanks for the hijack guys. LOL.

Hayn knowing what you know about the colormax bulbs what do you think would be a good quantity for my tank in original post. I am willing to try anything.

I think home deport has 4' long shop light that uses t8 bulbs. So, Two 4' long shop lights, t8 2x coralife colormax and t8 2 x 10,000k bulbs is what I would do if I had your tank.

You can also change the 5050 to 3528 for lesss power draw. All you need is some LED, connector or two, wire, and a power supply. Boom. I wired entire 12ft-3tier rack for about $40.

Do u have any pictures of this led in u tank

The glass lid should protect the lights from splashing. Is that what you meant?

Picked up a single 4' double bulb shop light and threw in the bulbs you suggested. Just need to put a canopy together to get the light contained to the tank and I think we have a winner. Thank you for the help. Sorry lousy picture off the cellphone. And don't mind the pot or driftwood still working on a little decorating.
