so in a few months i am getting 125 gallon tank. im getting exactly what i want and am going all out. i recently came across led lights and really am liking them a ton more than fluorescent lights. im not sure which brand to get or if i should just get one big strip or two small ones. i want one that also has the night time lights on them. the 125 will be 72in long. based on my quick search on petco the biggest one is 60in but they also come in 36in and im not sure if theyll fit into the braces that are on the top. it has two braces looks to be equally spread apart of the 72in lenght of the tank so the gap is about 24in. im concerned with if i get two 36in strips they are going to meet in the middle of the tank which i do not want so now as im typing this lol im wondering if they have 24in strips and if they do should i just get 3 of those or if i can one bit 72in strip.

Basically i want either 3 24in strips or 1 72in strip. so what brand makes them that size and/or what brand should i go with i also want the night time lights in the strip too

any past experiences is also appreciated and how can i make the shimmering effect with the LED lights
 
http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-TT-...strip+lighting I am real happy with this lighting. I took this 16.4 roll and cut it into 3 strips(you have to also buy angle connections)and mounted on top of my 125 gal and i use this with and w out my normal fluoresent lighting. You have so many options of colors, it is awesome.and check out my video http://youtu.be/1kMvyXu9tNY

Check out the Maxspect RAZOR (R420R). I have 3 of them on my 300 gallon and I wouldn't trade them for anything other than. You can get them in 8000K, 10000K and 16000K depending on the type of setup. Completely programmable to cycle the suns schedule as manufacturer pre-sets or auto setup. or just set the light to the preferred intensity. Well worth the money.
