I wouldn't worry about the window but that temp seems kinda low IMO.

Thats my house (ac setting)temp not water temp. Water temp is around 80-82

The DIY led like Q

Oh I forgot to add that... I got my led shipment today BUT I DON'T HAVE PICTURES lol so I guess until I get pictures I don't have it lol

I would say no less than 600 LEDs for your tank. :)

[cu0ngsayz]

You smoking crack j? Lol you must be on that baby led.. Hahahah I'm using 50 right now see how that goes..

[aggrofishkeeper]

I like my tanks bright bro.

[eklikewhoa]

100 would give 3x250wMH a run for it's money.

I have only owned the coralife 3x250w + 4x96w PC to compare and I would say 75-100 would be right there with my old fixture.

[aggrofishkeeper]

I'll need to see for myself lol

[aggrofishkeeper]

I don't know if 50 leds can produce as much lumens a a single 250w mh does or 1.5x

[eklikewhoa]

50 of these LEDs would shadow a single 250w

I'm a high light whore and I would pick MH over all any day but these compare, stack the rest like cost/efficiency/etc. and the LEDs smoke the MH.

[aggrofishkeeper]

Link? I'm curious about these LEDS you speak off.

[eklikewhoa]

I have everything posted in my DIY thread.

[aggrofishkeeper]

Interesting DIY. I would love to have bright light with lights that don't get as hot as my pans on the stove lol.

I didn't see a link to the LED source.
