    Anyone out there done a full Rapid LED light fixture? I curious what everyone thinks about them and if they are worth doing. Love DIY stuff so that's part of the fun for me but i obviously want the best for my tank. I'm planning on growing pretty much everything i can in my tank so i defiantly need the output. I have 2 150 mh right now.

    I will be ordering the 48led kit from them In a few weeks. My Buddy has 72 LEDs kit over his 120. It looks great. But he didn't use just blue and white. A full spectrum lights looks a lot better IMO.

    what does he have in his tank? I was looking at going with the full spectrum kit too. I like the idea of adjustability.

    He has chalices, zoas, clam, and I think a few Sps now.... He likes Lps mostly. But I know the light would grow Sps no problem.
