Why you should wait for LEDs

[Darbex]

You want two?

Sorry didnt see this yes. Two should be good on my nano.

K, I'll take care of it. I'll place the order tomorrow or something. I'll PM final cost total. I don't expect shipment to be much.

Check this out Brian.

This is now mix would look on your tank.

I think it would be less blue in real life.

[Darbex]

I think I am going to do 1 and 1. I will put the 20K in the back with the SPS and the 14K in the front since its deeper

[myjohnson]

Yeah, I would mix if I had your tank.

My tank is just too long.

I got an email from John (owner of boostLED). He said we need to get the order in soon to get the first round of shipments.

He got a lot of pre-orders already.

Like Mattress Mack says they put our order and the back back back order. They wont ship it out till 10-1

If you are about to buy a lighting system for a small reef tank or a planted tank this is why you should wait about a month before you buy. These LEDs screw into a regular socket and after reading the product description, you realize how much light you get for the money, plus lower cost of having to replace any bulbs, plus lower electricity consumption. You could concievably retroful 3-4 bulb outlets in your hood, on say a 75g or 125g tank and have a better light setup than any T5/MH setup.

I've been looking at some PAR30s and noticed your post. So did you end up buying any from BoostLED? Any news about them?

[Darbex]

The output seems ok. But I havent had time to set them up and compare them to MH. I will post my experience when I do.

[myjohnson]

They are not going to be as visually bright as MH.

But PAR readings around the middle of the bulb should give MH a run for their money.

Yah that would be good to see. Do you know anybody who has bought them? Any recent reviews?

[ariel825]

so do you think PAR is better or do you prefer MH? I'm so new to this. I'm trying to figure out which one will be getter.
