    Is 33w of leds enough to put over my biocube? I need to put my hood back on. So they will be an inch or so off the water line. They are on dimmable drivers.the only light intensive coral is my condy. I appreciate the input!

    Doesn't seem like that would be enough to me, thats only 11 3w leds. I had about 20 on mine. Take a look at this

    The drivers can handle a total of 15 each. So 30 total. I just need something to put in the hood

    I have 32 3w leds on my 60g cube. I dont think you need 30 on a 29g
