So iv made my own lid for my 35g hex reef tank lid and I built a large light box that contains 4 T8 bulbs and 4 leds. The ballast are the cheap under cabinet fixtures from walmart and claim to consume 15w and output 60w but I will run coralifebulbs 2 10k and 2 actinic. The leds are again cheap desk lamps that the k is unknown but the sticker on the bottom sais 3w, and there is 6 LEDs per unit so I'm assuming they're wired in paralell so it should be roughly 24w of LED. Is that enough for enenomes and reef in general? When I was running 3 T8s alone I had a condy slowly die on me. So I'm not sure. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated
