I am setting up an Advanced Acrylics 24x20x8 Frag tank. I plan on having only high end SPS in it.. I have always used LEDs on my tanks but i have also never set up a dedicated small frag tank.

I was thinking of doing a T5 Quad 24" setup for the tank. I figured with it being so shallow a 250W Halide would melt everything in it.. So what about (4) T5's? Surely it should be sufficient and my best bet for how shallow the tank is right?

What are the best bulbs and combination of bulbs i should use?

Look at the Radions. ..XR 30 Pro dual...or the XR15 pro single. They are really good lights which you can customize into default programs or make your own.

I have the xr30w pro gen 3 on my 80gal cube. But I'm not sure LED is what I want. Especially on this small of a tank. I can't justify another radion.

I had the XR15 pro on my frag and it was only 20x20x12...it was perfect. ..until everything started to grow so much that I out grew it and had to go bigger tank..
