Budget LEDs for new 125 gallon

Nickh517 · Jan 21, 2017

I am upgrading from a 30g to a new 125 gallon and looking for some LEDs for the canopy that aren't going to cost me 1000 bucks. wanting to be able to have softies, mushrooms, and polyps. Any advice ? looked at USA orbit marine but not comfortable pulling the trigger yet

I got a couple 48 in trueluman less off eBay for $150. I also have some t5 and they are doing great. I have food growth on all my coral. I have a mixed reef softies, lps and some sps. I really like the lights.

are you able to ramp or customize light schedules with the trueluman

They have a dinner. I don't throw it they sell anything that allows you to program the light. I use a timer to turn them on. They are DC and have a standard 24 v plug so you may be able to find something like that.
