I'm using that light for my 35x35x35 and i totally love it. but of course, there are better lights such as maxaspect and hydra

but they cost a bomb. CherryAqua is pretty good value for money imo

Thanks for the info bro! Will consider that light

It's a 1ft cube bro

General guideline is 3-5 watt per litre normal range (lps and softies), 5 watt per litre above for SPS.

Plus whether u wan in build timer, ramp up/ down feature, etc

So it all depends on what u wanna keep and ur budget.

One thing to note is that led will loss up to 30% of intensity in a year, so please factor that in ur selection.

Now: (2014)
