In this episode we make sure that we discuss all of the criteria and specifications that you should look for when selecting LEDs for your aquarium. I also tell the story of how I went about choosing the lighting system that I will use for my new 30 gallon marine reef aquarium.

Included in this episode are some tips to help you select the correct aquarium lighting system for the livestock that you intend to care for. We had to break it down into a few parts so that each podcast episode wasn’t too long. In Part 1 we discuss the lighting needs of all types of aquarium livestock and we try to explain all of the fluorescent and metal halide lighting options. In Part 2 we will discuss LED lighting options and explain how I went about choosing the lighting system for the marine aquarium that I am currently in the process of setting up.
