About to buy a mp10 and sb reef light 18 inch...STOP ME!

Currdawg12 · Jan 19, 2019

I have a 45 gallon, 24”x24” and I am looking to buy the mp10 and sb reef light! But before I do plead your case on why I should or shouldn’t! These are the last parts of the tank I need. I plan on having a mixed reef tank with 6-10 fish!

I say go for it

been using mp10s for 2 years now and love em. And I've seen many tanks on here lit by sb reef lights that look amazing

I cant see a reason not to purchase either

My preference is both T5 and LED combo, but you could start off w/ one or the other if budget is a factor, add one or the other down the road.

I like T5 for growth, LED for shimmer and color adjustment as well as PAR as long as it's quality unit.

I think leds look better but t5 would just work and be better for the coral so that’s the only toss up
