I run Kessil 360we's w/ kessil dawn/dusk controller on my DT, and kessil 150's with skyye led's set on alternating timers for dawn/dusk effect on the frag tank.

Whatever is hanging over your display should be over the frag tank IMO

I was just in same delima. I'll be running mh on dt but I didn't want mh inside my canopy. I wanted to go led even bought a fixture but decided to go with t5. For the simple fact I have never had to acclimate a coral under t5. I just put it under and it takes off. With it being a frag tank and adding new frags all the time I didn't want to be concerned with acclimating a coral every time I add one. I may be completely wrong as I have never ran led but this is just my rational from reading.

I did a kessil over my small frag tank, where I run a full spectrum over my main tank.
The reason for this is because I'm slowly bringing up the par in my main, and my frag tank is housing the sps corals for now
