I'm looking forward to the progress on build/redo... in part due to the similarity of tank/sump size to my system.

Sorry I can't help directly with your LED question. But I run a hybrid overdriven T5HO/DIY LED set up and am pretty please with it. I do need to switch the bulb combo on the T5's though.

BTW the pics in the second post are not working for me...

Good luck with the move,
Tom
