Need some help on a custom canopy

[mutiger91]

I am building a canopy for a 140g square aquarium 36"X36"X24"

I will be retrofitting 2 175watt halides and want some blue light in as well. This is where i need help. Was thinking 4 superbright 10watt LEDs. Do you think that is enough wattage or should i go to 6 10watt or up the wattage?

Not interested in fluorescent with actinics? PC, VHO, T5 would all work. That's what most people would do.

Gong the LED route would cost a lot more up front, and getting the intensity that's pleasing to your eye would be completely subjective...you'd just have to try it to see if you like it.
