Do you think 4x1' long strips will be enough for this over a 5' long tank. I would mount them to the sides of icecap pendants. Is the pendant very hot? If so no good. 4 x 1' strips will be too dim (only 6W plus these are made to look good not really illumination) in my opinion. You can consider the 96/LEDs cleared coated ones(made for illumination). They are 3 feet each(get 2) and can be cut at 1' mark. These are like 3W/ft. So 4' will give you 12W. I also would like to try lighting a 30 gallon breeder tank to grow macro algae. how many and which lights would you suggest for a 36x18x12 tank What's you current light on it? And are you home tonight, I can drop by to take a look. thanks for the help.
