So I started my 75 gallon tank back in 2004. What got me into the hobby was clams. I've had quite a few problems over the years. I'm actually now back to running metal halide, but wondered which LED's I should use?

I was using the Ecoxotic Panorama LED's but I can't seem to get the boards anymore, but maybe if I could get a source of which LED's to use in their strips I could use my soldering iron and fix some of them.

I tried to fix the LED's by updating to a 150watt 24volt power supply, and the LED's that are running 5 of the 6 boards are pulling over 6 amps of power and causing the power supply to shut off then back on again.

So I am wondering should I continue to run my metal halides? I'm only getting temps going from 76 up to 78 and maybe 80 on the really warm day we had. Should I try and repair the boards on my panorama LED's? Should I just buy new LED's such as the Ecotech Radion?

This how it looked with one of the 250 watt metal halide (on the right) and the failing Ecoxotic Panorama pro on the left.
