Best LED

[The new fish on the block]

Hi all I'm looking for some LEDs that are capable of supporting some SPS and maybe an anemone and fit a Biocube 29 but are under $200 Thanks and Happy Reefing

You mean fit in the existing biocube hood?

No I plan on building a custom cabinet and canopy

That sure opens up a lot of options then! If you are building a canopy I would go with reefbreeders value fixture. Or perhaps an ocean revive, I would like to try those but I can only speak to the value fixtures from personal experience. They are the lights used in my signature links.

it's tough to get anything fit inside the biocube canopy. there are many great leds out theresuch as Radion, AI, Pac Sun,...etc but those great LED fixtures do not fit well inside the biocube canopy. your best bet would be some DIY or custom...

I thought the OP was planning on not using the stock hood but building a canopy? I might have misunderstood though.

You will need 20-30 Cree XT-E or and XP-E2 equivalent LEDs for an anemone on the sand bed and SPS.

Given quality Binned LEDs are around $3-4 each I doubt you can find a decent factory fixture at that price.

DIY with complete dimmability will be over your budget.

If you going to spend $50-100 on a decent Anemone or Acan Colony why not spend a little extra for a decent light with a proven spectrum.

would a Reef breeders value fixture be enough for an anemone
