I'd like to go Led/T5 Hybrid but do not want to use Radions (Not knocking them but they just weren't for me). Leaning towards the Aquatic Life fixture but am unsure on what lights to put un for Leds. Tank is 72 x 24 x 30.

Looking for feedback, good or bad. I'm not sold on anything yet.

Thanks in advance!

Brain,
Have you looked into putting some Kessil AP700's into the Aquatic Life fixture?

Anything is possible. Have you used them with tanks 30" deep? Is there enough coverage with 4 T5 bulbs? I did use some 360we before but felt like i needed more than the 4 I had to cover a 60 x 22 x 22 tank.

U should also have commented that I'd be going mixed reef leaning more toward SPS.

Zach,
I know you went to MH/T5, but what's is your thoughts with the AP700/ T5 on a 30" deep (mixed / SPS) reef?

Thanks, Freddie

Ap700 t5 will always have a place in my heart. I've said before, if it wasnt for the circumstances surrounding my metal halide setup I'd still be running the kessil t5 hybrid. I absolutely love it :)
