LED light for a 12g Nanotank

[glb]

Hello everyone. I'm interested in retrofitting my 12g nano with LED lighting (it currently has the standard flourescent with moon lights). Any suggestions?

you should give us dimensions. but right off the bat I would say a par 38 lamp.

Do the LEDs give that black light look they have at the store? My corals don't luminesce as much once I get them home.

I was able to get a blue actinic flourescent for now to brighten up the tank. I'm going to wait for LED's now for a bigger tank. Thanks for the advice!

I'm running as AI Sol Nano on my 8g cube. I like it. I tried a PAR 38 bulb, but this tank is under the cabinets in the kitchen, so there wasn't enough room.

DIY or PAR38.

Oreef, do you have any suggestions for DIY? Even with the new lights I have, there's not enough blue.

Be sure whatever you get is dimmable. On a 12g, you aren't likely to need (or want) full powered LEDs.

Thanks! I just checked out the Steve's lights. That's great that they fit under the plastic light cover. Do you have them?
