Hi, trying to maximize the coverage with reefbreeders fixtures over my 120gal reef 2x2x4'. Currently running one 48" photon v2pro and I get great par over the center but I'm lacking along the sides and lower parts of my rockwork. I used to have good par when I ran a reefbreeders 32" photon v2+ down one side of my tank and 2 radion xr15s down the other side and never had an issue with shadows/low light areas.
So I've been looking at adding some light bard to the sides of my 48" v2pro to help even things out and get my par up towards the sides of the tank. It looks like the older reefbreeders bars are all out of stock and the new ones that are still in the "pre order" are pretty expensive. For light bars o would be shelling out another 750$.
My other option would be to get another 36" fixture to hang next to my 48" light. I would just bump my 48" light over and run the 36" on the side where my overflow takes up space in the back corner. This would actually cost slightly less then the new light bar combo.
Wishing I could just buy another reef nexus integration chip because I've already got a 36"v2+ but those seam to be discontinued. That would be the cheapest and easiest route to go. Programming my 2 fixtures to match with one on the app and the other manually won't work out so great im thinking.
What's going to be the best option. I feel like I'm going to be turning the fixtures intensity way down if I go with 2 v2pro fixtures but I'm also not sure the investment in the bars is going to be worth it.
Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated. I would really like to stick with reefbreeders and have wireless control.
