Hey yall,
I'm setting up a 40 breeder frag tank and am hoping to go LED. My display tank is DIY LED lit but it was made several year ago and the technology has moved quite a bit. The tank will be housing mostly acro and monti frags from my display. What are your thoughts on how many Cree XT-Es I'll need to light it?
I was planning to do between 28-36 with even ratio of RB to CW, but since have had some suggestions from the retailer to use 2:1 ratio of RB to NW and only use a total of 24 LEDs. I am not sure this will be enough. Also is a 2:1 RB/NW setup better than a 1:1 RB/CW? My display has been running on CW and RB only for 2 years now and it seems happy. What are your thoughts??
