2 450g tank build

[The Natural Coral Depot]

Hi I’m currently working on a project and the tanks are about 5 feet long 5 feet deep and 18 inches wide but I’m not sure what lighting would work for me since it’s such a deep tank. If anyone could help it would mean a lot thank you.

Kessil W500STB would be one possibility.

Are you wanting corals near the bottom?

There is probably nothing " off the rack" that probably fits well.
You can check w/ Orphek and Kessil though.
You would probably need an Amazonia with 15 degree lenses every 18" though.
3ft hanging height. 15 degree lenses.
3-4 units.
320 watts each.

Then there are holographic beam shaping diffusers...

Using 35 degree Kessils (KSW360N) about 2 ft off the water line.

Now the number of units is??? but I'd probably start around 6-8.
They are only 80 watts.
The number depends on the question below. At 5ft Kessil should have an idea of real life par.

What kind of light intensity are you going for?
