Out with the old metal in with the new leds

[carlitofish]

just got 6 300 watt LEDS to replace 10 Metal halides. here is the before and after... by the way if anyone needs any used metal halides, lol.

I think by doing the change it saves about 230 a month for this tank operation. the tank is twice as bright.
:highfive3:

here is the nice clean look of LEDs. No remote ballasts to deal with.

That tank is sick! Im going all led on my main soon! Are those Evolution Leds?

[carlitofish]

I went with blueline. I have always had good luck with them. and I get a real good deal on them. they are the brightest i have seen so far.

A 1500 gallon tank?, now we're talking. Im thinking about going that big a few years down the road :)

It's amazing how archaic the halides look compared to the leds. kind of like swapping an old console tv for a flat screen plasma.
