2 questions. tatoos & leds

[nuch]

So uncle Sam wants to hook me up this year, so I was thinking of getting a half sleeve tatoo(from the elbow to the wrist) or leds. So:

Q 1: which one do I get? Kinda know what you guys r gonna say.
Q 2: if I go with the leds I know of two brands that are talked about alot. The AI's & echotech.

I have a 170 gallon with t5 now. I have 2 center braces so I'm gonna need 3. I don't need all the bells and whistles, line green and red lights or Web access. What do you guys think? And if there is another brand out there that I should check out? I have a hand full of corals and a load of frags. About 10 fish so I wanna load up on more corals. Mostly Lps, but what more sps.

I personally like T5's more then LED's so I would go with the sleeve.

I have no experience with the Ecotech but they look like a great light. The AI's I have are great and the controller is easy to program so if you go with the AI's then make sure you buy the controller. Tatoo's aren't my thing I don't have any so I would go with the LED's

whats the sleeve going to be of? if you have lights and system working well, not sure if i would change it up

if you go with a half sleeve ur just gonna want to finish to top part. If you have the cash go with the full sleeve. make sure you're set on what you're getting.

Also, make sure you have the right tatoo artist!!!! You do not want to regret it..:usa1:

LOL wow thats what i call a package deal right there

 

[btldreef]

Hahaha . Cryptics is right. I can hook you up. Putting LEDs over your 170g is going to cost just shy of 1300-1400. I wouldn't charge that much for a sleev anyways lol. If you do have questions on either please pm me.

Just wondering why nobody talks about ACAN leds and they are made on long island. I have them and think they are perfect. Myself, i'm done with tats, i recommend the leds.

Thanks guys. As far as changing t5 for led I just thought there better as far as growth and energy cost. Crypt good idea. Maybe I do the tat and the AI's. Since I was thinking I was gonna spend about $2000 ish.
Will nice tats.
Bltd I'll check u out.
