Setting up my first tank in 15 years. The last time I built a lighting system metal halides were the standard and T5s were just showing up on the scene. These days it's all LED based, but the old watt/gallon doesn't seem to apply anymore. I've read through the pinned DIY lighting thread (helpful, but many of the LEDs in there have been discontinued) but didn't really see anything to help decide to build or to buy. I prefer building where possible, just for the fun factor.
So, any suggestions?
Thanks!
