LED for 120Gal FOWLR

[xxnonamexx]

I have a 120gal 48x24x24 with Power compacts. I was looking at live aquaria and saw Marineland with a LED system made for a 36" but extends to 48" under $200. Does anyone have these LEDS on a 48" I am curious how they will look or if there is another company with an inexpensive LED unti to replace the Power Compacts. Thanks

If it's a fowlr you can get any low power LED and it's fine. You don't need anything intense. It's just a matter of you wanting specific colors.

I had a friend that bought them, and sent them back the next day, they are not that powerfull for a 24" deep tank.

Yea I read about the 48" is a 36" stretched out. I am looking for a 48" cheaper since a 36" stretched goes to 48" they should make it in 48" for 300

as aznt said, if its fish only, its fine
not strong enough for any corals though

But I read might not be as bright as what I have now especially on the sides it will be approx 8" darker. I am hoping to have it similar lighting to PC's. I can't find a video pf anyone with the LED unit in a 48" tank.
