LEDs

[sponger0]

Im looking in LEDs and wondering what Im looking for lol. Its going to be a nano 30 gallon shallow tank and just softies. Mostly.

What do I determine if it will be enough light for the tank?

And recomendations for nano tanks?

Well, LEDs give you a lot of options and you need to narrow down a few things first:
Canopy or open top?
Out of the Box or DIY?
How shallow is the tank?
How wide is the tank?

Open top.

Out of box or Diy is fine for me.

maybe 12 inches

2 foot wide
