NateDawg Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 So I've never bought lighting before, I've always just made it myself but I'd like to try something different. Id like to stay with all led, maybe with some added t5 if someone convinces me lol. I wouldn't need a ton of features, just timing and adjustment of color and intensity. Also more budget friendly but not cheap, if that makes sense at all. I would be having both sps and clams at the bottom of the tank as well. The tanks dimensions are 6'x24.5"x24. Any input would be super helpful plus if anyone has any lighting for sale, I'd be interested in that as Well. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorhardy1 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 On my 6x2 footprint build that I've been working on I've got 3 radion xr30g4 pros, and I'm gonna supplement with 6 t5s on a controller. Definitely a less than budget friendly option, but in my experience nothing compares to radion/t5 hybrid. I did look into sb reef lights pretty heavily. They're producing some crazy results, and they're cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDawg Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 I do hear good results about both those light fixtures. Is it still true, with today's technology, that corals won't color up as well under solely LEDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
