Hey there guys, i'm absolutely brand new to this forum and planted tanks, and aquariums in general!!
Over the next week I will be collecting the last few pieces needed to start my very first aquarium! ever!
Now, my dad manufactures LED lighting and I have an abundance of LED strips & power supplies, I am planning on mounting the LED strips onto a board that will sit over the center of the tank, similar to commercial LED lights for tanks available.
I am running a 12V power supply with 5A output, the maximum output of this unit in watts, would be 60w, I won't have any trouble mounting 60watts worth of LED strips above the tank.
The tank is a standard 2ft tank, 60cm X 30cm X 38cm and only about 68 litres (20 gallons)
After a little bit of reading it seems watts per litre isn't accurate,
So my question is, would 60watts of LED's that are between 6000K-7000K be okay for a 70litre tank that is 38cm deep (15inches)
Hopefully I have given enough info for an answer!
Don't mind the voltmeter, just the light
Thank you,
Kind regards
