Led lighting

[michaelf1478]

I'm wanting to install LEDs on my 135 gallon long, I'd like to be able to keep most types of coral I don't even know where to start with what I need any advice?? Is it still the watt per gallon rule or something different??

LEDs definitely</em> don't follow that rule. It's all about how much light, of what type, is hitting the coral. LEDs use so much less power that the rule is out the window.

You'll need a LOT of light for SPS:

I'm not sure what your budget is but I got two of these on my 75 and I absolutely love them.

I have no complaints with this fixture. If I had to buy them again, I'd do it twice.

Ive been using tao tronics for a year with no issues. Nemo aquarium sells them for $250 each

I agree, Larry of LRS has one of these over his 90 gal rimless. Spectacular lighting and his corals in this new tank are doing really well.
I was in Optimum today, they had 2 in stock.
Very cool lighting and will likely be the route I eventually go. Super thin fixture!
