100G 6FT LONG LIGHTING / HELP.

[Mstanker]

Over the next month or so i'm going to start buying a new lighting fixture to fit my new tank. What are some good LED or T5 Fixture to fit the 6ft tank. I want to use one light fixture with timers built into it.

What's your budget and how will you be installing? inside a hood? hanging?

 

[jsker]

You could think about doing a combination for t5's LED?

I'll probably hang them or build a bar style to support the fixture. I want to stay around 500-600.

Reefbreeders should be able to cover it with one fixture

yeah I watched a lot of ppl on youtube with these lights and they add other lighting to help the coral growth.

Has anyone on here jumped off into Orphek Atlantik V3 Plus lights. They seem to look good but idk.

So what does everyone think about https://www.reefbreeders.com/shop/photon-50-v2/ . for lighting a mixed reef?

Looks great, you should be able to keep corals happy and healthy with it :)

If this is a 6ft tank it is 72 inches. That light is for a 60 inch tank. It would probably be ok as long as you don't mind it being a bit darker on the sides. It's not easy finding lights for a tank this size in this price range. We just went through this and ended up purchasing 2 Maxspect Razors. We were limited as we couldn't hang them. We had to find a way to mount them on the tank rim. Very happy with them. Easy to program, ramp up ramp down. My corals love them.
