    I actualy watched an Awsome build on YouTube. My plan for these lights are to later incorporate them into my dream build of at least a 220 gallon tank. I'm thinking that ill later ill add another 12 leds to this heatsink and then get a second one with 36 for it. Do you think 72 leds would function for a 220?

    I'd guess you'f be pushing it on that! guess it depends on the tank dimensions and what you'll be growing!;) 220g is past my paygrade, i'm still in a 55g!lol

    Great read, I'm currently juggling between the 24 and 36 kit for my 40B.

    Get the 36, that way when you upgrade your set! but a good quality 24 should be fine!
