What LED light for Biocube 29?

[ps2cho]

Im sort of stuck deciding what the best LED light for my biocube 29 would be...

Kessel? Radion G4 single cluster?
I want to be able to handle anything in it. What are my best options? The tank dimensions are 20 x 20 x 19

You'll get more mileage out of a XR15 G.4. You'll also like the controllability, PAR is very good. The new LEDs and lenses distribute the light much better. JMO

Just tested the Kessil a360we & a160we over my bc29. I'm finding the a160we at ~6" over the water is perfect.

I have the rapidled kit and it looks nice. it fits in the stock hood.

Is there any problem with shadowing with the a160we?

In the hood or topless?

2 AI Prime HDs, 2nd pic only one, 3rd pic with 2. running at 15 % more than enough to grow anything!

I had a cheap Chinese LED hung over my Biocube 29 for years. Got better growth from the LED's then I did with MH. Personally I don't see the reason to pay $350 for a name brand when the $100 LED does, IMO, just as well.

I think there is always going to be shadowing with any single point light source. Personally, I love the shadow and shimmer.

I use an aquatic life 4 bulb T5 system, and have had decent growth.
You said LED, I'll go back to sleep now.
