Let us know how you come out on the LED's. Been looking in that direction for quite a while but some feedback on brightness, or lack thereof, on a deep tank are a little concerning.

I have just one on my 110 gal 30" tall tank and it does good. It lights all the way to the bottom with no problem. It is not as bright as some tanks, but I did not want to grow anything other than fish.

I have one right now over 375g. It's 30'' deep. It's ok....

LEDs are not bright as PC, T5, VHO, HM, or HQI.

The design advantage is not for it to be bright.

Major plus is low energy cost relative to PAR output.

Plus slight shimmer effect.

Johnson,

Have same tank as you. Which is brighter, T5 or VHO?

Thanks.

Now-a-days, both PAR and brightness goes to t5s.

The independent reflectors for each bulb really helps.
