    Could be anything. I don't go in there. The closet is HER domain.

    Hey Rc take a look at these ... I'm going this route on the new frag tank..
    1pc 50W Actinic Royal Blue Hybrid LED for Aquarium Lamp Waterproof Driver | eBay


    There is a lot of threads out there on these lights and par readings on these threads. This Lexi linked looks like it might do a great job.

    I plan on adding a 90* lens and heatsink with fan. Once it's up and going ill post it up but I'm a month out still on my build.
