What is your budget?

About 600. I've been looking for AI Sol Super Blues used but can't find them for around there

Check these out, Maxspect Razor R420R LED Light Fixture
Great par readings for the cost. I recently mapped a 30 gal tank with an Apogee Par meter and got reading almost equaled to 250w MH with radium bulbs. This should be in your budget

And welcome to R2R

I've looked at those but for my tank I'd need 2 and that's about a grand lol

Leds they will pay forthenselves. Don't buy the cheapest ones. Orphec are awesome.

I had the cheap LEDs at first on my 30 cube and hated them and went to metal halide.

I have seen the AI Sols come up regularly in the used equipment section. You should be able to score 1 or 2 if you dont mind them being used.

That's really what I'm shooting for. I have been keeping my eye open for them. Whenever I find them no one will answer my messages.

I got some used ones off of here with a controller. I very happy with them and I'm setting up a new tank that they will be going on.
