I have a 110g tank with 2/250w MH. I am going to move everything to my new 150g. New tank is 29" deep that is 10" deeper. All other measurements are the same as my 110g that everything lives in now.
I am considering LEDs for the new tank.
Does anyone have experience with a similar change over. I have mostly softies & LPS. Small fish load. Mostly just a garden of corals. One LTA too.

I am considering TaoTronics TT-AL09 Dimmable Aquarium Coral Reef LED Grow Light .
How many should I buy and what issues should I expect?
Is there a better option in a similar price point? I could spend a little more but not $400 each like my LFS wants.
thanks for any feedback. Dan

Pass. It's not even full spectrum.

Check out reef breeders. People seem to love their LEDs.

Agree, use something else.

Don't buy lights from LFS. Go online or buy used.
