LED options.

[Thrawn]

Hey guys, i just wantsd some opinions on what kind of LEDs for my tank. It's a 10 gallon. Thinking I'll probably do mainly zoas but might branch out to some other stuff. I was at OBD earlier today and took a look at the Kessil 150 ocean blue. I liked it but i wish i could control the color on it like the 350s so i just waned to see if anybody else had some suggestions.

I have a friend with the 150 kessils. Look great, on his 75g. Think they would be a lil much for a 10g. Ill be following this thread.

I'll probably get blasted but I have a marineland reef on my 10 ,looks good,not really pricey and I have a lps growing from a piece of rubble. I'm not sure what it is yet, but its growing has about 4 new heads starting

A PAR bulb would probably be your best bet. I have not tried the ones from rapid led, but i got my diy kit from them and its fantastic. They sell PAR bulbs that i believe they make in house, much less expensive then some other online retailers. 12 LED PAR38 Bulb (Mixed Color with UV) - Rapid LED

I definitely like the price on that bulb. Does anybody have any experience running it? I would like to see pictures of it in action. Also, anybody have experience with aquaticlife's LED fixtures? I was in barrier reef and that's what they suggested. Little more expensive than the Kessil, but from my understanding, it had a lot more bells and whistles.

For that PAR bulb you can just contact them, they have excellent customer service and will get back to you promptly via email. If you are looking into fixtures they have those there, also Oceans By Design ive heard has some great fixtures too. You will get many more led's through Rapid or OBD for the money. Onyx by Rapid LED - Rapid LED or Oceans by Design| Your one stop shop for custom glass aquariums| Oceans by Design. Either of these would be better for expansion purposes later on as well.

The first question I will ask is would you ever Upgrade from a 10 gallon Tank? If there is even the slightest chance that you would, Buy a Fixture that will work for you now AND on a Potential Upgrade.

If I were to upgrade, it would be a long ways down the road. I can't have anything bigger than a 10 where i live right now and I'm in the middle of a 90 gallon build for when i get a better place.
