That LED light is expensive, but it is supposed to last several years and decrease your electric bill substantally. So in the long run you save money. I just ordered one, so We'll see. Again I was just tossing out an Idea. good luck. I love those corner tanks :)

Amanda & Brenda...

I think that the LED fixture deserves some much deeper investigation. Good advice Brenda!!! :)

Amanda, you need to think long term and look into the LED unit. Bulb replacement on the MH unit will make up for the initial cost savings in just a couple of years. Energy saved is just a BONUS and HEAT not generated is just ICING on the cake. I think this unit should be at least looked into and possible discussed with Steve at CD :)

Hi Amanda, I was asked to chime in here. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have about our AquariumLED lamp.

I read thru the thread but I didn't see where you posted the size or dimensions of your tank. Can you provide those numbers? Thanks.

Ah I see. I wish I could tell you different, but I don't think the AquariumLED lamp will fit the bill on this tank. You would end up with dark corners unless you added additional supplemental T5's or PC's - or you would need two of the AquariumLED's to cover.

I appreciate the recommendations from Al and Brenda, but I just don't think it one lamp will suffice with this footprint.

Yep. I figure, I'll try this 70w, and if I want more, I'll look into a 150w. Like I said - I really only care about being able to keep LPS and zoas in this particular tank.
