Help with retro LED for a coralife unit.

[reeferindc]

I have this dual T5 HO Coralife unit and I am interested in trying to retrofit my system with LED Lights. Can someone give me a good starting point? Example : A good LED system that will fit, I am looking to make it dimmable, and would like to be able to keep lps and some sps corals. 

 

Here is what I have

I am mainly looking for suggestions of a good LED but any other help is appreciated.

Why not just get a couple of the D120's. Easier and probably very comparable in price. You can even get custom layouts to your liking. They are dimmable and controllable.

Yep, I suggest the d2040's as a good starting point, and you will probably be happy with them and a new believer. I have the it 2040's, and I love them.

I'm pretty sure that's Pennywise the clown from the movie IT. He's not a very funny clown.

Reef Central has a variety of examples on their DIY page (six pages on this title last 30 days alone) of different combos:

Depending on your tank width maybe just adding EverGrow LED's as a separate unit(s) in addition to your T5 fixture might work. How much space do you have for lights?  Or as suggested above just go with one or two of  EverGrow's fixtures.
