Default Looking for help picking out LED system

I think i am sold on LED's now. First i saw Troys(bluwc) led system and was amazed, then all the venders with led's made all the corals look sick

I think its time to retire the sunpod and get some led's

So im looking for help on choosing a light, im no good with DIY stuff lol. Light will be for a 24g nanocube and would also like to get one for my 10g frag tank

thanks alot
mark

Evolution led fixtures are affordable and work great.

Just get the one that nate_newton is selling right now for $25. You'd need to get a driver and some dimmers.

I bought his larger diy and it works great. I took the dimmers off I got from him since I have a controller...I could sell you the dimmers and dimmer power supply cheap.

Sunbright has a nice led fixture for under 300 that would be perfect for your tank

For area extra bucks though you can have the evolution! And I think the sunbrite leds are only white.
