I currently use a very noisy 48" Power Compact fixture on a 55g salt water tank. I would love to have an economical LED solution with which to replace it.

Would I be able to set up two 24" LABs as an alternative, since I am only looking to grow soft corals?

Any information or assistance in this project would be appreciated, as it does sound like the fans are about to die on my PC fixture.

Thank you!

Two 24" Labs would be 24 LEDs total if you mix 10 Premium XP-G and 14 Premium Royal Blue you will have a much improved light about 12K.

The 10 XP-G would be Driven at 1050 mA with the dimmable Inventronics Driver and the Royal Blue would be driven with the 700mA Inventronics.

Later for SPS you can simply add a couple more strips.
