I am thinking the same thing but not sure how or what to use. How do I know if it will be bright enough

Well, I've got 174 X 1watt LED's on my standard dimension 75 gallon if that gives you a baseline. it seems about the right brightness for a fish only tank for me.
 
Sorry for hi-jacking the thread :grinno: I have one question. Does anyone here have pics of a 300+ gallon tank or 30" tall tanks with LED? I'm debating wether to switch over to LED on my 450g to save some energy costs.

Is that a Phillips head screwdriver bro? I gots me one of those too. But in all seriousness, nice tank.

Op, you can get it as bright or as dim as you want it. Look at the lumens output, and that should be a good indicator of what to go with.
 
Wow first pic the beamswork LED barely lights up the tank. 2nd pic is much better. Thanks sross.

I like to use the beamswork in the evening when I don't want the light as bright. The biggest thing for me though is the beamswork alone is 129 watts and the whole LED Floodlight set up is only 90 watts.

lol yeah thats a screw driver I'm remodeling my garage to change it in to my new living room. I was probably doing some electrical work.

Wow 129 watts of LEDs? How many fixtures u have on there using the beamswork? Isn't it like 0.06 watts per LED?

The standard 48" beamswork light is 174 X .06W LED's = 10.44W.

Sorry for my earlier post saying I had the 174 1W fixture.....Meant .06W.
