THE POWER BILL IS IN!
Hey all as you all may know i have switched my tanks to LEDs for a while and i never did tell everyone what i was running and how much it cost.
ok well for my 40 gallon saltwater tank i am using 2 BLUE + WHITE LED AQUARIUM GROW LIGHT PANEL system and 1 L.E.D. moon light strip
the 2 main lights have 225 L.E.Ds each and are 14 watts each
the L.E.D. moon light is 5.67 watts
for a total of 33.67 watts of energy an hour.
It has droped my bill (coming from using 4 t-5 lights and MTHL) by 1/6th the cost
1/6th !!!!!!!
running about 10 hours a day
so i am only spending ................. 1.11 a mouth!!!!!!!!

ok wll i am home and i just whent on ebay and looked around. here is the link for a blue/white led panel
http://www.ebay.com/itm/225-Blue-WHITE-LED-Aquarium-Plant-Grow-Light-Panel-/190406080622?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5516386e
this Blue/white is really good for corals
the blue LEDs are 450 NM
and the white is 6.5k to 7.5k each lighting.
I use that and the all white LEDs that are 10k
and i have been running leds for a few mouths now and it is still under 2.00
