You might try over in the DIY section. Alot of info for DIY leds. I decided to AI sol instead of DIY. Completely happy with the purchase. I have three over a 125.

I would look in the sponsor section and try to find a response from Rapid LED on a similar sized tank to your own.

Keep in mind... they are 3w cree LED's. So your view will be severely skewed if you are unsure of the bulb type in the prebuilt fixture.

Well, I have AI and Pacific Sun and like them both (different tanks). I think either would work well for you. Virtually no heat and controllable (for LED, that is crucial).
