    Hi, I have a 58 Gallon OCeanic tank 36x18x20. How many LED's would you recommend for a mixed reef tank? I cant decide between 36 or 48 or maybe im way off. Please help. Thanks.

    Hi, I'd go with 36. I think 48 would be way too many, unless you plan on dimming them down quite a bit.

    Regards,

    If you don't have a center brace then yes, that heatsink would work.
