What type of LEDs would I need?

I am just starting to look at LED lighting and wanted to know what would be a good option. Im not sure I would want to DIY leds but I wish the price was cheaper for the all in one units. If I was to get a aqua illuminations sol how many would i need to get. I have a 110 gallon tank and it is 30 inches deep. Any other option that you guys can think of would be grateful.

 

if 48"x19x30 you could do 2 mounted parallel.
3 would be even better (of course, right)

 

Yea I was thinking 3 as well what are the good pre built light fixtures. I want something that can make it down all the way to the sand. It doesn't seem like all fixtures are powerful enough to reach that deep.

 

I think this is a combination issue. What I mean by that is if you have more units you wont have to have them as high off the water surface. It also depends on how intense you need the light to be at the very bottom. I think you gotta base your decision on your layout as well. If you dont have corals out the the ends of your tank then maybe you dont need 3 units. My suggestion would be to run 2 units first and see what results you get. You can always add a third later.

 

I see you keep posting this same thing on all the led threads. Are you trying to promote a business? If so then that is not allowed. If you are trying to help then you should post some useful information right here in the thread.

That should help decide how many you would need. With the dimensions above seems like 2 if you keep them more than 12in above water line and 4 if less than 12. When you go to purchase I would ask the sell and tell them what you want to do with the tank and see what they suggest compared to what that site says too. Hope that helps.
