Yes apparently the 70 are the most efficient

It really depends on livestock.

For SPS and clams on the sand bed here is our standard recommendation which is the equivalent to a 400 watt MH

36 Royal Blue, 12 Cool White & 12 Cool White XP-G for a High Noon. This will cover 36″x24″ with the same PAR as a 400 watt MH with an awesome 20K look.

With two 18″ heatsinks you could use this mix with good results and cover your tank. For SPS and Clams I would do 120 LEDs Total.

As a min I would recommend two 18″ heatsinks with 12 XP-E Cool White and 6 Royal Blue. This is a fresh water minimum depending on the plants. Personally I would do a few more as the budget allows. For the Lunar 6 Regular Blue would work great.

For Fresh Water Planted our Regular XP-E are more than fine.

I have a 55 gallon aquarium and would like to be able to have some live plants in it . Could you suggest on a kit that would be suitable for me . I think the tank is 48 inches in length . I need to go the least expenisive as possible . Also would like to have lunar lights as well . Thanks for your time . Eric V. Roberts

The BJB work perfectly with the XP-E.

Two of our 12″ Pre Drilled and Tapped would work well with the BJB Connectors.

For Freshwater I would recommend 48 of our regular XP-E and 24 of our premium Royal Blue. This is based on spectrum. The Regular XP-E will give you better fresh water growth, The Premium Royal Blue will make your fish colours pop. For the moon light our 9 LED Kit will work quite well.

Hello i was going to switch over to LED lighting coming from T5 HO lighting. I currently have a tank that is 36″L x 18″W x 24″ deep. This is a freshwater planted tank. I also wanted to have lunar lights for night. I eventually was going to install the neptune controller to this system. What would you recommend for a heatsink? 2x 18″ or special order 1x 36″? how many LEDs do you think i should have for this setup. I was thinking about 68 Cree XP-E LED’s.

Also, do the XP-E LED’s work with the BJB soderless connection?
