So im looking to buy some new LED's since my last ones went down the drain. Before i make a buy i was wondering what you guys think are the best ones out right now since they seem to be all over right now. The only requarment is that im able to place them 7 inches over my water.

does the price matter and what do you want your light to do?

are leds supposed to be your only light source or are you looking for color pop effect?

They are a bit expensive. I'll see if I can take a pic for u tonight can't promise the pic will be clear it's tough for me to get a good shot when everything is glowing blue. I'm using the SL model CoralSky - Products

Have you looked at some of the LED lights made oversea, like Maxspect? They are well built and about 1/3 the price of what you pay for comparable units made in US. May be even cheaper than a DIY unit.

I just swapped out my 5 MH for 144 LEDs. I passed on the XPGs and kept with the QRE Q5 with a 1 to 1 Royal Blue to Cool White. Once the price comes down on the XPGs I think a 2 Royal Blue for every 1 Cool White would be best. Here is a pic and yes I finally have reflectors on the T5s.
