What type of LEDs would I get for this size tank and where would I get them strong enough to be a coral tank to fill with coral I have that I can't fit in my tank at the moment? They don't have to be strong enough for sps.
 
Anybody have an led light that would work well over it they'd be willing to sell or trade me for for some coral?

Would this tank work without having to change Anthing? Would the LEDs be strong enough for zoas? And little frags of that type of coral?
 
I just sold my Fluval Spec V setup, you can see it in my Feeler post in the dry goods forum(

I was thinking of putting this over the same tank.
 
From what I understand, stunner strips produce little to no par, but I am relatively new to the hobby, take that as you may.
 
Also you will have to devise some sort of reflector, if you go that route.
 
I looked at all the options and did a lot of research when building my setup. Although panoramas and the stunner strips are enticing, by the time you buy all of the parts needed and time spent on rigging it up, you most likely could have purchased a much higher quality fixture that can support ALL types of corals. I think that I ended up spending around a $150 to put mine together. To each their own, but just throwing out there what I came across when building my setup. Do a google search for Fluval Spec V Reef, there are lots of examples of others who have successfully built and used these tanks.
 
Ok thx for all the help maybe I'll just get a PC 8 g biocube instead lol just make it all a lot more simple
 
When I got it it had one stunner in blue and the stock light and it wasn't doing bad. It had a hammer in it that had 3 heads and like 5 babies heads that it had grown. It was also supporting zoos, gsp, toad stool and mushrooms.
