I currently have a 65g tank setup for roughly a month, almost two months. For lighting as of right now I have 2 LED strips which have bulbs that are 1 watt a piece. With this I am not so sure it will provided ideal lighting so I was thinking of switching my lighting to something different.

I was thinking about buying Ecotech's Radion lighting system, but I don't know much about them so if anyone owns one of these and could me a review of what they think of it, it would be nice. Also I am open to different lighting systems but would like to stay with the LED part of it.

I have heard good things on the Radion, but I am a DIYer. Have you considered doing it yourself?

I used to run metal halides and t5's.

I just got the radion and I love it. I only have a couple lps but I plan to get some sps and clams.

Huge thumbs up from me!

Buy the LEDs and driver. Mount the LEDs to a heat sink. Solder it all up and save some $$.

See I would do that but I don't have the time to and I really don't have the knowledge about it to even attempt something like it
