LED for 150g deep dimension tanks? Help needed...

[jdaven22]

Hi all,

I am thinking about buying a 150g dd tank (36''lx36''w28''d) and was wondering what, how many, and anything else about potential led lighting for this tank.

I do not know specifics about par rating, depth, spread, etc... So a little help is needed on what I should or could run.

If your going to have clams on the sand bed you would want around 150-200 Par. Personally I like 200+ Par but my LEDs are only on full for 4 hours a day.

If you DIY two 24" Heatsinks with a total 110 3 watt LEDs using optics will give you the same PAR as a pair of 400 watt MH.
