Considering LEDs ????

[LuckySingh]

I just dnt hve much time for this hobby...it's just not much fun no more trying different stuff and collecting rare variety .....I hve been really busy with my work and with the new born its taking all my time ...I hve been through already 1 major crash couple months ago where my kalk reactor pooped and back siphoned kalk in my sump while i was gne on vacation killing 70% of my sps .....I want this tank to be run much cool and pretty much on its own not with my massive halides when I no longer need em ...my plan is to acquire few more softies leathers and maybe nice clams and photosynthetic gorgos and than them grow on their own but no sps ....tank was doing so good with zeovit but after the crash lost the interest and took that offline also ...
My concern is too run my tank cool with LEDs where I can save some money on my electric bill but not running 400 watts of halide bulbs ....any recommendations on what should I get ...tank has kne carpet anemone on one end and a large clam ..it's gne be pure softy and some lps covered tank ....

Tank dimensions r 72x36x24

to people that have made the switch to leds do you notice a change in electricity cost to justify them. rig now I have a 4 bulb t-5 and changing the bulbs is a hefty price every year.

I honestly couldn't tell you if I noticed the difference in savings. I ran a 6 bulb t5 over my old 90g. One thing I noticed right away was less noise and less heat in the ambient air.

I'm waiting for the electric bill to show a difference, but the room temp has dropped considerably.

nothing to say on this, I don't care what the power usage difference is. if it doesn't compete with growth and health that I have now. so power bill is not a factor.

but for lucky moving to LEDs is a good idea especially a heads up trade no money lost and he will be happy. if that's what he wants
