    I am looking to buy an LED fixture and I am really not sure on which toi get. I have done a ton of research and I feel that LEDs will definately benefit my tank along with saving some money on bulbs.
    What would you suggest?
    29 gallon cube
    DEFINATELY $400 or less. Rather less, but $400 is the firm max.
    I would like it to be customizeble in terms of color, and I like the blue looks.
    Must be able to be dimmed
    Any suggestions/input would be appreciated.
    THanks!

    I looked into it a bit before and that does seem to be my first choice as of now.
    Could I get away with the nano?

    For what you want the AI Sol sounds like a winner. I don't have any experience with them, but I see good reviews.

    contact jonathon at reefwerks.com and talk to him! he'll build ya exactly what you want so you don't have to compromise on this or that! Pretty sure he could do something for ya in your budget! He's building me a system for a 55 gallon that is basically 2 AI sols but that we customized for $600 shipped, so 1 would def be in your budget! Plus he'll make it so you can change it up as you please!

    Thanks for the input everybody! I think I have narrowed it down to the aqua illuminations lights. They seem to meet all of my needs. Would the NANO AI SOL be enough light for my tank?
    Any other suggestions though?
    Thanks, again!
