So here is my problem. I am in the process of building a 8foot planet 310 gallon sps dominated reef. The stand has been built to the same height as the bar it will be sitting next too. I plan on running the halides for 4-8 hours (all depending on what the corals want.) but I need supplemental light. I like the look of halide and t5s. But I won’t have any “control” over them. I could go xho blue reef brites and get the LED pop we all love but I would have no white to go along with it. The reason I want to have control over the spectrum is that being that this tank is set basically on the bar if I have friends over to hang out and consume adult beverages I want to be able to show off the tank while we all have a good time. I know I won’t turn the halides on just to show off the tank. And turning all blues on (reefbrites) doesn’t appeal to my eye when showing the tank off. The last option I have is to use my 3 radion xr 15 gen 4 lights and I will have all the control I want from my phone but to work them in I will definitely not get the coverage I want out of them because the halides take up a lot of space in the canopy. So the radion placement would be less than ideal.
I was hoping someone would make a controllable full spectrum “BAR “ style light by now but I haven’t heard of any. So I would like to hear if anyone has input to solve this issue. Thanks in advance. And if u want to check out my build thread the link is attached to my avatar
