    I am thinking about snagging a JBJ 54watt unibody LED unit for a 14G biocube. Does anyone run one of these? What are your thought?

    I want to turn the 14G into an LED powered zoa, paly, and chalice tank.

    i really think that big a light would kinda be overkill for that type of coral. i have a friend and my lfs has one on one of their displays and it is a fantastic light though! you would probably be able to keep just as much in that tank with a couple panorama pros.

    I currently keep all my chalices and zoas under 6bulb t5ho with ati and kz bulbs so its pumping out the par. I feel anything else would be a downgrade. I also like the way LEDs morph chalices and sometimes zoas. I figure that since it is dimmable, I can always start off low and work my way up to~50% white and ~75% blue.

    Odds are I will wind up throwing some sps in the tank as well. Even thoug that isnt the plan.
