Recommended LED for a 72" fowler

[jasonrusso]

I'm planning on upgrading to a 72" 225 tank. I currently have a 60" 150. I have an Advanced Marineland 48" with the integrated timer. I really like the light. It is plenty bright enough and I love the timer with the separate settings for the white and blue LEDs. The problem is, I don't think this is wide enough for a 72" Even with the 60", the back corners are a bit dimmer than the center. Is there a better option that will have the intergrated timer but is wider? I'm very handy with electronics and soldering so maybe I can buy a couple LED strips and solder them in, but I don't want to overload the circuit. I have a "predator" tank so I have no intention of ever having corals, so light intensity/wavelength is not a concern.

I used 2 current marine orbit LED's 36" over my 180 when I first set it up. I really liked them with the rolling cloud cover option I found it very relaxing to watch. These were over a 180G so not as deep as what you are going to have but I think they would penetrate all the way to the bottom easily enough. I switched to t-5's though when the coral bug hit.

If you are near leominster MA and want to check them out I still have them both, maybe 3 months worth of use but they are 2 years old and I would be happy to sell them for relatively short money if you liked them
